Texas A&M graduate student arreste
By Amanda Smith
Staff writer
A Texas A&M University gradu
ate student was released from the
Limestone County Sheriff’s De
partment on $25,000 bond Jan. 27
after being arrested for charges of
sexual assault of a fifteen-year-old
girl, University Police Department
Detective Sgt. Jim Lindholm said.
Obed Matus, a Ph.D. student
and mathematics graduate as
sistant, was arrested Jan. 26 by
the Limestone County Sheriff’s
Department.
Limestone County notified the
UPD that they had a warrant for
the arrest of Matus on charges of
sexual assault of a child.
The UPD assisted with the exe
cution of the arrest and the trans
portation of Matus to Limestone
County, Lindholm said.
“Matus and the girl came to
gether through e-mail and that led
to a meeting,” lindholm said. “The
Limestone County Sheriff’s De
partment’s case (against Matus) is
very strong.”
The UPD may assist the lime
stone County Sheriff’s Department
with farther investigation, particu
larly regarding the execution of
search warrants, Lindholm said.
Lane Stephenson, deputy di
rector of University Relati
the Student Affairs dep;
will handle the case cor.:
Matus at the UniversityIc:
“By virtue of himbei; ;
dent, there is soir;
process,” Stephensonsa:;
told that facts are bek:
ered and that actionwi
tated by the fact finding
Lindholm said notria!
Matus has been set.
Expansion
Continued from Page 1
“Outside amenities will include chair-
backseats, overhead cover, television mon
itors and cupholders.”
Scruggs said the project is being funded
by proceeds from seat sales.
“The project is being financed via private
donations through the 12th Man Foundation
and suite revenues through the athletic de
partment.”
He said the tickets will be sold through
the athletic department and to donors of
the 12th Man Foundation.
Scruggs said the construction will reduce
the capacity for the ‘98 football season.
“Capacity will be reduced to between
58,000 and 60,000 seats for the ‘98 football
season,” he said. “This is due to the fact that
the current north end zone seating will be
removed and the process of rebuilding for
the ‘99 season will have begun.”
The expansion will increase the capacity
when completed from 70,000 to 80,000.
The University expects the project to be
completed for the first football game in ‘99.
