Miss Texas-USA ’87
honored in Bryan,
given key to city
By Melanie Perkins
Staff Writer
Miss Texas-USA 1987 received
the key to the City of Bryan Thurs
day in a ceremony presided over by
Mayor Marvin Tate.
Tate proclaimed Thursday to be
Michelle Renee Royer Day as he pre
sented her with the key and certifi
cate in a conference room in the
Bryan Utilities Building.
Royer was in the area on her third
stop in a 10-day tour of Texas as a
promotion for Subaru.
Though she has been given the
keys to several cities, Royer said this
was only the second day proclaimed
in her honor. The first was in her
hometown of Keller upon her victo
rious return from the pageant.
Royer said she felt lucky to have
stopped in Bryan-College Station.
“When I go to the Miss USA Pag
eant, I feel I will know a little bit
more about Texas,” she said.
Royer said she has several friends
who go to Texas A&M and she has
been here once before for an Aggie
football game.
“The Aggies won,” she said, “and
I think it was because of all the sup
port. I had lots of fun.”
Royer is a sophomore at Tarrant
County Junior College in Fort
Worth, but said she wants to study
medicine and will consider attending
A&M when her reign is complete.
II she wins the Miss USA Pageant
— as the past two Miss Texas-USAs
have — she said she will have to put
off college for another year, hut says
she feels it would be worth it.
“Pageants are part of what made
me the person I am today,” she said.
“They gave me confidence and back
bone.”
Royer said she’s learned more
about herself and about people in
general in the past four months of
her reign as Miss Texas-USA than
she could have learned in school.
“1 realized I had other talents,”
she said. “I didn’t necessarily have to
perform on stage to have a talent.”
Royer got involved in pageants
when she was a senior in high school.
“I got an application in the mail
for a teen pageant,” she said, “and
since I was bored over the Christmas
holidays, I filled out the application
and mailed it in.”
Royer was first runner-up out of
52 girls in that pageant. She contin
ued to enter pageants because she
found them a good way to earn
scholarship money.
Royer now is speaking and travel
ing on behalf of the sponsors of the
pageant, and preparing to compete
in the Miss USA Pageant on Feb. 17.
After receiving the key to the city,
Royer had lunch in Cain Hall, visited
St. Joseph Hospital’s children’s ward
and signed autographs.
Houston police arrest 16
in Houston car-theft ‘sting’
HOUSTON (AP) — Area author
ities arrested 16 people who were al
legedly fooled into selling stolen cars
to officers who were posing as fences
in a sting operation that netted
$850,000 in stolen vehicles.
Another 13 people, who police
said also sold them stolen cars, were
already in jail on unrelated charges,
investigators said. They said four
others caught in the sting operation
Wednesday remained at large.
been stolen from homes and busi-
Police said the suspects were re
corded on hidden video cameras
when they allegedly sold stolen cars
to undercover officers at the PDQ
Sales in southwest Houston.
The 33 people — six women and
27 men — were indicted on charges
of auto theft in a 77-count indict
ment unsealed Wednesday.
The operation resulted in the re
covery of 69 cars, most of which had
nesses.
The suspects were willing to ac
cept a meager price for their stolen
goods because of the convenience of
getting rid of them quickly, police
said. Most of the cars were sold less
than an hour after stealing them.
“It was clear profit on their end,”
one undercover officer said. “It cost
them nothing to steal the cars.”
For instance, a $27,000 Cadillac
with 1,500 miles was bought for only
$400.
More than half the cars were late-
model Camaros and Firebirds, and
all the vehicles ranged in retail price
from $3,500 to $27,000. Police were
able to purchase the cars at an aver
age of $250, and no vehicle went for
more than $500, authorities said.
The operation cost about $ 18,500,
most of which was used to buy the
stolen cars, officials said.
