VIDEO: Texas Gov. Abbott calls for regulations on data centers, contrasting previous stance FOX 4 NEWS ... AUSTIN, Texas - Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Wednesday called for sweeping regulations on data centers to be passed by the legislature in the 2027 session. It's a change in stance for Abbott, who previously worked to make Texas the epicenter of the data center buildout. In a letter to the Public Utilities Commission of Texas and the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, Abbot laid out his ideas to hold data centers accountable and ensure the costs of their growth are not passed on to taxpayers. Abbott called for new centers to add power generation to the state's power grid while paying for their own infrastructure costs and connection to the grid. The letter also calls for the mandated use of closed-loop water systems and annual reporting on electricity and water use by data centers. The governor is also calling on lawmakers to repeal sales tax exemptions and "other outdated or unnecessary incentives" for data centers. Data centers would also be required to consider the communities by reducing their impact through measures such as reducing noise. "As Texas continues to welcome innovation and investment, we must ensure that growth strengthens our people and their quality of life without placing undue burdens on Texans and local communities," Abbott wrote in the letter. In the letter, Abbott directed PUC and ERCOT to submit a joint memorandum by July 17 outlining actions they've taken to prevent risks and added costs to taxpayers because of data center development. At least one lawmaker applauded the move as state Rep. Helen Kerwin praised Abbott for "protecting Texas ratepayers." "As these projects are proposed across Texas, we must PROTECT our water resources, rural communities, and state parks while bringing greater transparency and accountability to the process," Kerwin said on X. Kerwin has come out against the explosive expansion of data centers in the past, calling for full impact studies before development. "Economic development matters. Innovation matters. Jobs matter. But our water and our power are not negotiable," she said in February. Cal Jillson, a political scientist, tells FOX 4's David Sentendrey that Abbott's recent comments are at odds with his past stance on data centers. "The Governor has worked very hard to make Texas the epicenter of the data center buildout," Jillson said. ERCOT delivered a warning in April that Texas power demand could quadruple by 2032, mostly driven by data centers, population increases and oil production. Jillson also believes Abbott, who is seeking re-election this November, sees the potential for political backlash for other Republican campaigns. "He is sitting on $130 million, he’s gonna win easily but he knows that there are some races down ticket. Maybe even the U.S. Senate race, certainly the Texas Railroad Commissioner race, which have weaker Republicans that he needs to worry about," Jillson continued. "He’s got to try to be sure that Republicans hold the Texas House and Senate by large margins. So that’s what he’s trying to do, just position the Republican Party more than himself so they’re not taking blame for the data center buildout." The move comes as communities and local leaders push back against the rapid expansion of data centers in the state. Last month, Hill County officials placed a moratorium on new data centers in their county. The move was met with a lawsuit from developers. Officials rescinded the moratorium last week in response to the pressure from the lawsuit and issued a checklist for new large-scale development in the county. The Angelina County Commissioners Court advised residents to contact state lawmakers during Tuesday night's meeting after hearing public comments about a proposed data center located outside the Lufkin city limits. "We have no authority to do a moratorium or to stop any type of development in the county," Angelina County Judge Keith Wright said. "The Texas legislators have consciously limited what we can do, and they've done it on purpose."

VIDEO: Arrest affidavit reveals details after Dallas police officer busted in undercover prostitution sting FOX 4 NEWS ... DALLAS - A longtime Dallas Police Department officer has been placed on administrative leave following his arrest Monday afternoon during an undercover prostitution suppression operation, authorities confirmed. Senior Corporal Zachary Helm, a 20-year veteran of the department, faces a state jail felony charge of solicitation of prostitution. According to an arrest affidavit, the bust happened around 1:30 p.m. at the La Quinta Inn and Suites located at 2421 Walnut Hill Lane. The sting was conducted by the Dallas Police Department’s Special Investigations Division Human Trafficking Unit alongside federal partners to target the commercial sex market. The affidavit states that an undercover Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) agent received a phone call from Helm responding to a decoy commercial advertisement posted on a website known to facilitate human trafficking. During the recorded conversation, Helm allegedly agreed to pay $140 to engage in sexual acts. Investigators said Helm demonstrated intent to complete the agreement by driving to the hotel. When he arrived and knocked on the designated hotel room door, he was immediately detained by waiting detectives. Officers confirmed his identity through his Texas driver's license and verified his phone received a confirmation call from the undercover agent's number. Helm has been employed with the Dallas Police Department since 2006 and was assigned to the very division that spearheaded the operation—the Special Investigations Division. Following his arrest, Helm was booked into the Dallas County Jail. Records show he bonded out of custody late Monday night. The department has placed him on administrative leave pending the outcome of an internal affairs investigation. Tanya Stafford runs an anti-human trafficking nonprofit called It's Going to Be O.K. She believes Helm was bold and felt comfortable going to the hotel for $140 of services. "So he's felt comfortable. He's been doing this. He just got caught. It's all about when you get caught. So just imagine. Like I said, how many times has he done this?" she asked. Stafford been working with the North Texas FIFA World Cup Organizing Committee because prostitution and trafficking tend to ramp up around major events. Stafford's work usually involves victim intervention. Her organization was one of 20 to receive a portion of $300,000 in grant money from the Communities Foundation of North Texas to combat trafficking around the World Cup. "We're taking trafficking in our city, in our town, very seriously," she said. FOX 4 last spoke with Stafford in April about a different Dallas police officer – Sr. Cpl. Joshua Gonzalez – who was allegedly evading arrest after soliciting prostitutes. Now, with another senior corporal arrested, she's reminded that in the line of work she's fighting, no suspect is surprising. "Just imagine all the victims that have come through his workforce, his station," she said.

VIDEO: Texas father shoots carjacker attempting to steal vehicle with family inside ... GARLAND, Texas - Garland police say a driver shot a man who was trying to carjack him in a parking lot. The incident was captured on surveillance. Police say the man tried to steal several vehicles by force yesterday afternoon, before trying this one near Highway 66 and Dairy Road. A majority of the family members were inside the car when a carjacker tried to steal it. The carjacker was shot and killed by the father during a struggle captured on video. Surveillance video shows a man attacking and trying to carjack a family of eight in Garland on Sunday afternoon, before the father shoots and kills him. Tatiana Starks manages Garland Smoke and Vape in a shopping center near the incident. "You could definitely tell that he was not in his right state of mind," said Starks. "I’m just glad that the man was able to protect himself and his family." Garland Police Department says the carjacker initially crashed into two other vehicles. "While we were responding to the scene, we received more information that the driver of that car had exited and immediately began physically trying to get into other vehicles in the parking lot," said Lt. Pedro Barineau. Starks says she saw the man breaking into several vehicles at a gas station, so she took cell phone footage. "He like tried to get into several different cars," she said. She stopped recording as the man began walking across the street toward her. "He ended up going into their car." The family of eight was unaware of what was happening, and what was about to happen. Video shows the carjacker in the peach shirt, confronting the father in the white shirt. The father struggles as the carjacker is trying to drive off with the family’s car with family members still inside. After nearly a minute of struggle, the carjacker, who’s in the driver’s seat, is shot by the father while he stands outside the car and near the passenger side door. Police do not expect to file charges against the father. "It seemed to be self-defense," said Lt. Barineau. "It kind of all happened like really fast." Starks is grateful to be talking about a story in which no victims were hurt. "It’s just a blessing that the kids and the family walked away with no injuries," she said. Garland police say they are still working to identify the suspect. Police did not recover any weapons on him, but they say he was absolutely using force to try and steal multiple vehicles and at the moment, that father did not know if that person was armed.

VIDEO: Woman who threw speeding ticket toward Hurst Police officer brings complaint to city council FOX 4 NEWS ... HURST, Texas - A Hurst woman and the local police department are telling different sides of a story involving a traffic stop and a thrown speeding ticket. On Jan. 16, Taneisha Thompson was stopped by a Hurst police officer after allegedly speeding in a school zone. Hurst Police released body camera footage of the incident on Tuesday. In the video, an officer issues Thompson a traffic citation after a brief conversation. Thompson is seen throwing the ticket back at the officer, who then placed Thompson under arrest with the help of another officer. Officers pulled Thompson out of her car and onto the ground before arresting her. Thompson's child was present in the passenger seat of the vehicle at the time of the incident. Thompson has hired civil rights attorney Lee Merritt as she considers legal action against the Hurst Police Department. She says she suffered a black eye, a lip injury that required stitches and several bruises on her body from the incident. Thompson read a statement to reporters on Tuesday evening during a press conference before sharing her story with Hurst City Council. "I am here today because this is bigger than me—this is about all of us. It is about ensuring de-escalation, about prioritizing the safety of every citizen, so that no one else endures what I did. I am deeply grateful for all the support I have received from around the world—this is a call for justice, for humanity, and for safety. I will not be silenced," part of Thompson's statement read. Merritt answered questions during the presser. When asked about Thompson's throwing of the ticket, Merritt said: "I tell my clients, I tell the public in general, it’s not best to litigate a case on the side of the road. If you’re upset about a police encounter, hold your peace, hire an attorney, file a complaint with the police department later." He also stated: "I let the public know, just because this is the law, that you actually have every right to be rude to law enforcement. Not best practice, but you have every right to be rude." Hurst Police are standing by the officer. "Corporal Morgan acted in full accordance with the law and with our department’s policies and the department stands firmly behind his actions," Hurst Police Chief Billy Keadle said. The department conducted an investigation into the incident after Thompson filed a formal complaint claiming excessive use of force. The investigation determined the claims were unfounded. Alex del Carmen, a criminologist at Tarleton State University, viewed the footage and said the officer's actions were lawful. "What I said after reviewing the entire footage was that the woman was very disrespectful of the office during the entire exchange. Further, that the officer, up to the point of handing the ticket to her, was very respectful, professional and showed restraint," del Carmen said. "However, when the woman threw the citation out the window, the officer had the choice of either giving her another citation for loitering, ignoring it, or asking another officer to step in. Instead, he chose to issue a verbal command for the woman to get out of the vehicle, and she refused." "At that point, the officer used physical force. Although this was awful, it is lawful, for the woman refused to get out of the vehicle and ignored the officer’s commands."

VIDEO: A mother sent me video of a suspected gas explosion and fire reported on Thursday at an apartment building in the Oak Cliff neighborhood of Dallas. The fire was reported around 1:15 p.m. near the corner of East 9th Street and North Patton Avenue. Dallas Fire-Rescue confirmed there were fatalities from the explosion. "There have been fatalities at this point. We can all confirm that there are fatalities. We are still working through the recovery phase. So let us work through the recovery phase and give you a total number," Chief Mark Berry said. At least four people have been taken to a hospital for treatment. Officials now confirm they are now in recovery mode, which could take two to four hours or more. Sources told FOX 4 that DFR crews were en route to the location to investigate reports of a gas leak when the explosion occurred. Images from SKY 4 showed a small apartment complex that was fully engulfed in flames. The windows on neighboring buildings appeared to be blown out and debris was scattered across the street. There also appeared to be a utility truck that was affected by the fire. A large plume of black smoke was initially visible in Dallas for miles. At about 3:30 p.m., DFR upgraded its response to five alarms with more than 100 firefighters. While people in the area reported hearing an explosion, the exact cause of the fire is still unknown. Dallas police and city leaders held a news conference on Thursday afternoon but would not answer any questions from reporters. It's still not yet clear how many people were in the building at the time and how many people were hurt in total. "The fire is contained, but our members are still working on the scene to do primary searches. We put a drone in the air to canvas the area to see if we have any, if we see any victims or anything around," said DFR Assistant Chief James Ross. "At this time, it's unknown how many possible fatalities we may have." Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson and other city leaders did take a moment to ask for prayers for the families who are affected. "I want to encourage our entire city, this entire state and entire nation, to come together and pray for all the people, all the families who are affected by this tragedy we are experiencing here today in our city. We ask everyone to please pray for our Dallas Fire-Rescue personnel who are still fighting this fire. They do an amazing job under very, very difficult circumstances like this. And we just pray that they will be safe while they try to save and help every single person they can affected by this," said Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson. Neighbors said they heard a loud boom, and they felt their own apartments shake. "I was chilling in my living room and bam, loud explosion. I mean, what I now know to be an explosion. But I thought a car ran into my house was my guess. My dogs went nuts. I started to kind of check in just through the windows. I'm like, ‘What the hell was that?’ I walked outside and then some of my neighbors were already outside kind of looking to the east from Bishop Arts District and there was a massive plume of smoke," said Mike Sirois, who lives nearby.  Sirois was initially worried that the smoke was coming from Adamson High School, which is nearby. Thankfully, it was not. Dallas radio personality Hawkeye, from Hawkeye in the Morning on 96.3, was also in the area at the time. "I just saw the flames, the smoke. You can see the smoke from about two miles away," he said. "I didn't hear the explosion, but I will tell you there are a number of ambulances here. I mean a ton of them here." The Dallas Independent School District confirmed that everyone is safe at Adamson High School, which is near where the explosion happened. School is out for the summer, but there were reportedly some teachers in the building. Those staff members were sent home out of an abundance of caution, the district said.

Dallas police officer arrested for evading arrest in prostitution case ... DALLAS - A Dallas police officer was arrested recently for evading arrest in a case involving the solicitation of a prostitute. Sr. Cpl. Joshua Gonzalez turned himself in to the Dallas County jail on Tuesday to face charges. Gonzalez has been with the Dallas Police Department since August 2010 and is part of the Criminal Intelligence Division. According to an arrest warrant affidavit, the alleged crime happened near Harry Hines Boulevard this past October. Dallas police officers in a marked patrol unit spotted a black Ford Fusion on the side of the road with two females who appeared to be prostitutes. As the officers approached, the vehicle sped off. The officers followed the vehicle for about 15 seconds with lights and sirens on before deciding to "let'em go," according to the affidavit. They shared the vehicle's license plate information with investigators. Investigators later learned that the vehicle was registered to the City of Dallas and assigned to the police department's Criminal Intelligence Division. Video cameras, police fleet records, cellphone records, and witness statements helped police identify Gonzalez as the driver. Police believe he "intentionally and knowingly evaded detention with a motor vehicle when he immediately fled from Dallas police officers who attempted to conduct a lawful traffic stop," the affidavit states. Gonzalez was placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of an internal investigation.

VIDEO: Trinidad City Council fires municipal judge who dropped charge against police protestor FOX 4 NEWS ... TRINIDAD, Texas - Trinidad City Council members fired the city's municipal judge after she dismissed charges against a protestor, but the water issues the city has been experiencing were not discussed during Thursday's city council meeting. It was the first time Trinidad's city council had met since two people, Jennifer Combs and Winston Noles, were arrested for speaking about the water issues the city is experiencing. Combs has since filed a lawsuit against the city, as have Alex Estrada and Colby Reyes, two former Trinidad employees who say they were wrongfully terminated in connection to Noles' protest. C.J. Grisham, an attorney representing Combs, spoke directly to Trinidad Police Chief Charles Gregory, telling him: "You have dishonored your badge, this department, and every good officer who wears one." Gregory, who made his first public comments since FOX 4 initially reported on the story, said he has "nothing to hide." "I don’t care anymore. I’ve kept my mouth shut for a long time now. News, are you listening? I want everybody to let me speak," Gregory said. "He made a comment on the news that he wanted the Texas Rangers to come in here and investigate — I welcome them because I have nothing to hide." Gregory was referring to Trinidad Mayor Dennis Haws, who had previously suggested the Texas Rangers investigate the city's issues. During the meeting, the city also voted to fire Municipal Judge Shellena Bivens, who had dropped the charge against Noles last week. "I will reiterate to the whole world watching now. I’ve been a good judge," Bivens said. "A damn good judge, I believe, is what I told y’all last time. I’ve done nothing illegal, immoral, unethical." The water issues at the heart of this story that are still affecting Trinidad residents were not brought up at the meeting. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) confirmed to FOX 4 it received a complaint regarding the water quality in Trinidad, and that an investigation is ongoing. The law firm representing Estrada and Consumer Wellness Center Labs are organizing free independent water testing for people on Trinidad's water supply as the TCEQ investigation continues. The drama at the city council meeting comes after several weeks of arrests and lawsuits stemming from water quality concerns in Trinidad. On May 20, FOX 4 reported that Combs was charged with felony false alarm by the Trinidad Police Department after making an April Facebook post concerning the city's water issues. Her post stated that people had been hospitalized after drinking the city's water. Gregory responded by saying Combs’ post "creates fear, panic, or unnecessary emergency response within a community." A Henderson County grand jury declined to indict Combs, who has since filed a federal lawsuit against the City of Trinidad and Gregory which alleges she was arrested in "an act of deliberate political retaliation." One day after FOX 4's initial report, Noles protested outside Trinidad City Hall with a sign with expletives targeting "bad cops." Noles was arrested and charged with misdemeanor disorderly conduct for the sign. A municipal judge has since dismissed the charges against Noles. On Wednesday, May 27, two former Trinidad employees filed a lawsuit against the city, claiming the city administrator fired them without cause. Reyes, the former Trinidad Water Clerk, says in the lawsuit that she was fired because she "refused to lie" on behalf of Gregory and City Administrator Cynthia Dosier. Reyes' lawsuit claims Gregory publicly fabricated a story that Reyes was frightened by Noles last week in order to arrest him, in which Reyes says she put in writing she was "never offended" by Noles. Any residents using Trinidad's water who want to take part in free testing can email [email protected] for more information.

VIDEO: Carjacking suspect facing murder charges after deadly chain of events in East Dallas FOX 4 NEWS ... DALLAS - A 25-year-old man was arrested and charged with murder and robbery Thursday after allegedly carjacking a vehicle and crashing into a pedestrian in East Dallas, police said. Tyrell Jones, 25, was arrested after being treated at a hospital for injuries sustained in the crash. According to Dallas police, Jones was booked into the Dallas County Jail on charges of murder and robbery. No bond has been set. The Dallas PD arrest affidavit for Jones was released the FOX 4 Friday afternoon. According to the document, witnesses saw Jones appear to be intoxicated on unknown drugs before shoving a victim out of her car, speeding off and hitting another vehicle down the block. The document says Jones first tried to get into the carjacking victim's car several times before falling and appearing hurt, at which point she stopped and got out to check on him. He ran at her again, the document says, and she got back in the car to try to drive away. He then jumped through her window, the document says, pushed her out, and sped off. Other witnesses then saw the stolen car crash into another vehicle stopped at a stop sign, pushing both cars through the intersection and onto the sidewalk. That crash struck a pedestrian, identified as Jose Avila, who ended up pinned between the cars and a tree. He was taken to a nearby hospital, where he was later pronounced dead. Gina Carpio witnessed the carjacking take place, and spoke with FOX 4 Friday to describe the scene. Carpio said the victim of the carjacking was screaming for help and honking her horn when Jones jumped into her car. "She tries to get out of the car, pushes the door open, then I think he kicked her in the stomach, got in her car and drove," Carpio said. "And I mean, it was the craziest drive you've ever seen. Her and I were standing here hoping he didn't hit anybody." Another witness who lives across from the scene of the crash was emotional when considering the senseless loss of life.

Woman files lawsuit after arrest for Facebook post concerning Trinidad water supply issues ... TRINIDAD, Texas - A Facebook post about problems with the City of Trinidad's water quality led to the arrest of a woman who now says she's filed a lawsuit against the city after calling the arrest "political retaliation." Police in the City of Trinidad, located in Henderson County around an hour south-east of Dallas, charged Jennifer Combs on May 8 with felony false alarm or report. Her arrest stems from a Facebook post she made on her ‘Southern Belle Watch' account, where she claimed that the city's water issues had led to hospitalizations due to bacteria. The post, in part, reads: "We have received reports that some citizens have been hospitalized due to bacteria in the water. This is a serious public health concern that deserves immediate attention. If your water looks discolored, contains sediment, has a strong odor, or you have experienced related health issues, please send us a message. We are gathering information and reporting findings to the state." The Trinidad Police Department, in an April 6 Facebook post of their own, said Combs wrote "false information that creates fear, panic, or unnecessary emergency response within a community." A May 10 post from Trinidad Police Chief Charles Gregory doubled down on the decision to arrest Combs. Gregory claimed the case was "cut and dry," and Combs' claims about hospitalizations "are simply false and have only caused unnecessary fear and confusion in our community." "It was probably one of the most humiliating things I’ve ever gone through in my entire life. It was very, very bad." Combs, who tells FOX 4's David Sentendrey she's never received a speeding ticket, calls the ordeal of spending the night in jail "horrifying." "I feel like this is an extreme stretch," Combs said of her arrest. "There’s people that are saying that their appliances are getting ruined, they can’t cook with the water, they can’t bathe with it, they can’t do laundry," she continued. "A lot of them feel hushed, and like they don’t have a voice and no one listens to them and no one takes them seriously." Combs says multiple citizens had posted to Trinidad PD's Facebook page stating they were hospitalized or affected by consuming the city's water. Images provided to FOX 4 show brown water coming from faucets in sinks and bathtubs within the community. Combs described the city's water supply as looking like "the Trinity River is flowing from their water taps." A water boil had previously been issued for Trinidad on Apr. 21, several weeks after both Combs' post and the Trinidad Police Department's post. The boil was lifted on Apr. 23. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) confirmed to FOX 4 it received a complaint regarding the water quality in Trinidad, and that an investigation is ongoing. Trinidad officials did not deny that the city is struggling with its water supply. Dennis Haws, the Mayor of Trinidad, told Sentendrey on Tuesday that the city's water pipes date back to the 1950s. "We have to get to a position where we can fix that infrastructure, and it’s very expensive as I’m sure you can imagine," Haws said. "The city’s water situation is a struggle, without question." Haws would not confirm if anyone had gotten sick from drinking the city's water, but says there have been discussions on creating a committee to focus on the water issues. At a Trinidad City Council meeting on Tuesday, the city's water issues were a hot button topic. "The reason why everyone is here and the reason why FOX 4 is here, is because your city is acting like tyrants," one resident said. Police Chief Gregory was not present at Tuesday's meeting. "I really haven’t seen anything like this before." Dale Carpenter, a constitutional law professor at SMU, questions whether a crime was committed by Combs, and believes her First Amendment rights may have been violated. "She’s making a statement regarding a matter of great public interest and so people sometimes make false statements on matters of great public interest, and they’re allowed to do so." Combs has since filed a federal lawsuit against the City of Trinidad, which includes Chief Gregory, another member of the Trinidad Police Department and a Trinidad City Council member. The lawsuit states that Combs was arrested in "an act of deliberate political retaliation." CJ Grisham, the attorney representing Combs in the case, provided the following statement to FOX 4: "The City of Trinidad has become a cautionary tale of what happens when unchecked ego masquerades as governance. At the center of this ongoing constitutional crisis is the case of Jennifer Combs, whose unlawful treatment by city officials exposed a pattern of corruption, retaliation, and abuse of power that has infected the entire municipal apparatus. Rather than course-correct, city leadership has chosen to double down on its misconduct by engaging in an escalating campaign of retaliatory firings, punishing employees whose only offense was bearing witness to the truth or refusing to participate in the cover-up. The bitter irony is that the only individuals in this saga who have earned termination are Police Chief Gregory and City Councilwoman Marie Bannister, whose reckless abuse of authority and personal vendettas are not merely destroying careers: they are dismantling the institutional trust, public safety infrastructure, and financial stability of an entire community. Trinidad deserves leaders who serve its people, not officials who sacrifice them on the altar of wounded pride."

VIDEO: DBU student's quick thinking helps stranger in Oak Lawn ... DALLAS - A Dallas Baptist University student's quick thinking may have saved a man's life in Oak Lawn Tuesday night. Emma Dilley tells FOX 4's David Sentendrey she and her friends were driving through Oak Lawn in Dallas Tuesday night when they saw a man lying on the street with a crowd of people around him. The man was lying near the intersection of Lemmon Avenue and Douglas Avenue. She pulled over and saw the man was unconscious and not breathing. "I got on the scene and I checked his pulse, and it was very faint. I actually thought he was dead when I got there, but I re-did the pulse, and it was just a very faint pulse," Dilley said. "A bystander told me that he had been flagged down by this man saying he was having an asthma attack and just collapsed on the ground — and he had his inhaler next to him, so I figured that was the most logical explanation," she explained. Dilley said she's known CPR since she was a high school freshman. Now a freshman at Dallas Baptist University, she said that training was quite useful on Tuesday night. "I figured I needed to put others before myself, and so I just hopped out and did CPR," she told Sentendrey. Cell phone video shows Dilley taking action moments after she hopped out of her car. She performed CPR on the man despite never having performed it on a human before. "I want to go into healthcare, so I figured I’d use it at some point, but definitely didn’t think I’d use it in college," Dilley said. She's a pre-med biology major at DBU who hopes to be a doctor in the NICU one day. The man revived during Dilley's second round of chest compressions. First responders arrived within minutes of Dilley performing CPR and took over medical care. Does Dilley think she saved his life? "I think I did. I tried my best," she told Sentendrey. "But I’m just glad I was there to help and be there for him." Dallas Fire & Rescue did not have an update on the man this evening. He was taken to a local hospital after the incident.

VIDEO: Charges dismissed against Trinidad water protestors as city hall closes FOX 4 NEWS ... TRINIDAD, Texas - A grand jury has now declined to indict a woman arrested over a Facebook post about water concerns in the City of Trinidad. This was a quick decision by a grand jury, as the woman is one of two arrests related to the water controversy that will not be moving forward. Citizen journalist Winston Noles goes by the name Otto the Watchdog. Last week, Noles' 80,000 YouTube subscribers had live access of his arrest for holding up a sign outside the Trinidad Police Department. On Wednesday, FOX 4 shared an exclusive interview with Jennifer Combs, a citizen journalist arrested for a Facebook post, reading, "We have received reports that some citizens have been hospitalized due to bacteria in the water. This is a serious public health concern that deserves immediate attention." FOX 4 has received images from residents of deeply discolored water. City leaders admit there’s a water issue that’s been going on for years, but Chief of Police Charles Gregory says no one has been hospitalized and in a social media post of his own said Combs’ post "creates fear, panic, or unnecessary emergency response within a community." The police department charged her with felony false alarm or report. Combs, who says she was simply trying to investigate, maintains people have reported hospitalization, and the mayor says he’s at least seen social media posts claiming the same. "So I came out to Trinidad because I found out that the Chief of Police had arrested a lady for making a Facebook post," said Noles. He protested Combs’ arrest with a sign we cannot show on television, reading, "*expletive* bad cops." "We are in a crisis with the First Amendment right now," said Noles. "I don’t like the bad part of law enforcement. I like good cops." 18-minutes into Noles’ livestream, he was arrested and charged with misdemeanor disorderly conduct for the sign. "What they did to me was so clearly unconstitutional that any reasonable officer should’ve known better," said Noles. On Thursday, however, Trinidad’s municipal judge said Noles’ case is being dismissed, and a Henderson County Grand Jury no-billed Combs’ case, meaning it’s dismissed due to a lack of evidence. Now, for unknown reasons, Trinidad’s City Hall is now closed until next Tuesday, while many continue to ask what exactly is going on with the water? The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality confirms to FOX 4 that an investigation into the city’s water is ongoing.

A “No Kings” protest is underway at Dallas City Hall. I’m covering the protest and here are notes after speaking with the lead organizer… • Indivisible Dallas is organizing today’s protest. It’s part of a national organization — Indivisible — founded in 2017 by former congressional staffers. The Dallas chapter also launched in 2017 — but didn’t begin organizing protests until last year. Its goal? “Recruit and train every day average citizens how to register others to vote, monitor legislation, advocate — how to be an activist,” Indivisible’s Samantha Mitchell said. • No Kings is a coalition with ACLU, Planned Parenthood, 50501 and others — including Indivisible. “Teaching how to hold elected officials accountable…Good trouble,” Mitchell said. • Despite the U.S. being in the middle of a war with Iran, ICE is still going to be the main topic of conversation. “We have a city that’s built by and for immigrants,” Mitchell said. Organizers believe ICE enforcement is worse than during the time of last year’s protests. Citing more people being picked up at routine immigration hearings. • Organizers admit to teaching people how to use the controversial ICE OUT app — along with text chains and signal chains — to notify people when ICE is in the area. This has been labeled by some as dangerous to federal law enforcement officials. FOX 4 NEWS
