(Marion) -- A month-long human trafficking investigation in Guadalupe County has resulted in a pair of arrests and the recovery of stolen property following the execution of a search warrant in Marion. Officials with the Guadalupe County Sheriff ’s Office Criminal Investigations Division carried out the warrant on Thursday, March 19 in the 400 block of Lower Seguin Road. Guadalupe County Sheriff Joshua Ray says the case began with a tip that quickly developed into a serious criminal investigation involving the exploitation of a minor. “The investigation has been going on for a little over one month. We received a Crime Stoppers tip and then acted on the Crime Stoppers tip, which initiated the criminal investigation. The single victim that we have at this time was about 16 years of age when the abuse and activity started occurring and continued up until 18 years of age. As of right now, she’s the single victim with multiple suspects,” said Ray. Those arrested were Ronald Story, 62, of Marion, on outstanding warrants for Sexual Assault of a Child and Solicitation of

(Seguin) -- Guadalupe County residents tonight will have a chance to weigh in on more than $1.9 billion in proposed transportation projects during a public meeting here in Seguin. The Alamo Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (AAMPO) is hosting the local meeting as part of a regional effort to gather input on its draft Fiscal Year 2027–2030 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). The plan outlines roadway upgrades, safety improvements, mobility solutions, and multimodal transportation projects expected to move forward over the next four years. The Guadalupe County meeting is scheduled for Monday, March 23, at the Seguin Public Library, located at 313 W. Nolte St. AAMPO officials say public feedback is a key part of the process, especially as growth continues across the region. “Your voice matters now more than ever! With the Alamo region expected to grow to nearly 2.8 million people by 2030, the Transportation Policy Board is relying on input from residents and community leaders to guide the next four-year funding program. Together, we can prioritize projects that improve safety, mobility, AAMPO, pg. 3
