Another Municipal Court employee has been arrested. Stacie Marciel, 43, is facing a charge of misuse of official information, a third-degree felony punishable by 2 to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000. She is accused of not entering three citations into court records so that the recipients would not have to pay fines. Marciel blames inadequate staff and a backlog of work for the citations not being entered.

A man was arrested Sunday after a stand-off with police. Shots were fired in an apparent domestic disturbance. Marcus Cooper, 29, barricaded himself in a home in the 1100 block of North Cooper but surrendered peacefully to police after about 2 hours. No one was injured.

In addition to the increase in storm water fees, the City Council may approve an increase in water and waste water rates. The increase is the final part of a three-year plan to bring costs of treating water in line with what customers pay. Customers would be charged $2.68 per 1,000 gallons of wastewater, an increase of 7 cents. The average residential customer using 10,000 gallons per month would see a monthly increase of $2.18, but would vary depending on use. The Council is set to vote on the measure tomorrow.

Police are searching for four men who sped away from Seguin High School on Monday, then collided with two vehicles. About 1:30 p.m., two police officers in patrol cars at the school at 7001 Silo Road saw a black Ford Crown Victoria with four men inside pull into the parking lot. The officers turned on their lights, and the vehicle sped north on Silo Road, driving at speeds of over 100 miles per hour. The car then struck a black pickup and another vehicle at the intersection of Silo and Sublett. The four men ran after the crash. As of Monday afternoon, the suspects were still on the loose.
