0:00From News 88 7 in Houston, I'm Shelby Rose. After a high profile extra Dition fight that kept him out of a Minnesota jail, former ICE agent Christian Castro is now in federal custody in Texas. News 88 7's Matt Harrah breaks down this back and forth. Castro was released from the Cameron County jail just last week after Governor Greg Abbott declined to sign a warrant allowing his extradition to Minnesota. He was arrested by Texas officials in May for shooting through a door and injuring a man during an immigration crackdown in Minneapolis. He has criminally charged on the state level, but now these are new federal charges. A grand jury indicted Castro on six counts of making false statements. Prosecutors say he falsely claimed two men attacked officers before the shooting. He's the first officer to be federally charged in connection with the controversial immigration enforcement operation in Minneapolis. I'm Matt Harrah. News 88 7.

1:02This after a brief pursuit of the vehicle, police say it happened near Mekuski Road in FM 29 20. The suspect is one of the six people that were taken to the hospital. The driver is charged with evading arrest in addition to DWI. Bad decisions like drinking and driving can have serious consequences, including a crash, a death, a conviction, even prison time, ahead of the Labor Day weekend. Assistant Harris County District Attorney Whitney Raspberry has a simple solution. Have a plan before you drink. We all get up here every single holiday weekend and encourage you to enjoy your holiday with your friends and your family, but to do it safely. We ask you to have a plan. We ask you to stay where you're at because it did get a designated driver or book one of the many rideshare options. Law enforcement officials say when it comes to drinking and driving, the right decision is to let somebody else bring you home safely.
