River alcohol ban consider
Central Texas leaders study drinking at parks and r.
7-
idea of banning alcohol along Ce
tral Texas parks and rivers is
spreading, with San Marcos city of
ficials now considering a similar
proposal.
Officials say a drinking problem
that began years ago has prompted
them to study banning alcohol in
their city parks, many of which are
near the San Marcos River.
“The area by the falls in the riv
er, the people drink and they get
belligerent,” Jane Roach, a member
of the San Marcos Parks and Recre
ation Advisory Board, told the San
Antonio Express-News in Tuesday's
edition. “I don't even go down
there anymore. People use the parks
like a bar.”
In New Braunfels, the city coun
cil has proposed banning alcohol on
sections of the Guadalupe and Co
mal rivers designated as a central
business district.
Some San Marcos residents wor
ry that if New Braunfels bans drink
ing while tubing, that could send
more troublemakers to the San
Marcos River. The Texas Alcoholic
Beverage Commission last month
did not act on the New Braunfels
plan, instead recommending that
the city rework its proposal.
San Marcos Parks board mem
ber Marvin Nile said drinking in the
parks has been a concern for years.
“The parks are for children, not for
alcoholics to do their stuff,” said Nile.
Even though the San Marcos
proposal does noti

Victim’s family sues Dillard
I Damag
use gen
ARLINGTON (AP) — Relatives of a man fatally
shot at a mall by an off-duty police officer filed a S50
million wrongful death claim Monday against the offi
cer and Dillard’s Department Stores Inc.
The lawsuit, filed in a state district court, alleges that
Arlington police Sgt. Keith Humphrey used unjustified
deadly force in June against 41-year-old Roy Don
Bearden.
Humphrey, who was working as a security guard in
plain clothes, shot Bearden four times after chasing the
unarmed man through Dillard’s and struggling with him.
Papers filed in the lawsuit contend that Dillard’s was
negligent in supervising the officer. Tom Carse, the
family’s attorney, said the large claim is designed to get
the jury’s attention about the seriousness of the case.
“That's the starting point for placing value on human
life,” Carse, who represents Ronnie, Misty and Dawn
Bearden, Bearden's brother and two daughters, said in
Tuesday’s edition of the Arlington Morning News.
The officer has said he fired shots only after Bear
den, who was suspected of stealing a $50 razor at a
nearby Sears store, shouted that he wasannq
peared to be reaching for a gun.
A Tarrant County grand jury declined
