The Morning Star Fire Department sadly announced the passing of Charles Wayne Bechel Jr. (923) at the age of 61.

Wayne had been a part of the Morning Star Fire Department family since the early 1980s, dedicating decades of service to our community as a firefighter and longtime member of the Board of Directors. His commitment to the department extended far beyond emergency responses. Wayne was the person who could fix just about anything, and he worked tirelessly behind the scenes to keep our apparatus and equipment maintained, repaired, and ready to answer the call whenever needed.

His knowledge, work ethic, and willingness to help were invaluable to our department. More importantly, Wayne was a friend, mentor, and brother firefighter whose presence will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of serving alongside him.

Rest Easy Brother. Prayers for his family of red and blood.🙏🏻

It is my Great Honor to have just signed Pardons for six people who were persecuted by the Biden Administration, and were in, or being sent to, prison, for “fixing their car.” While I know this sounds ridiculous, it is nevertheless a fact, and part of the Weaponization and Stupidity that our Country had to endure during four long years of Sleepy Joe Biden. I AM SETTING THEM ALL FREE, RIGHT NOW! President DONALD J. TRUMP

TWO MORE OFF THE STREETS 🚗💨
 
This time, 2️⃣ vehicles took to Bristol St. and McFadden Ave. to do burnouts after Tuesday’s World Cup game.
 
Despite covering up their license plates and thinking they’d get away with it, our Traffic Unit identified both vehicles and impounded them this morning. The drivers, Yobany Lucero (26) and Bryan Ladino (20) both from Santa Ana, were also arrested for reckless driving. 
 
‼️A reminder: covering your license plates doesn’t make you anonymous, and turning our streets into your personal racetrack comes with consequences.

We are aware of the video circulating on social media regarding an officer and interaction with members from a soccer team.

The Dallas Police Department responded to an area hotel at the request of hotel security regarding an individual without event credentials attempting to gain access. It was later learned that the individuals weren’t displaying credentials properly which is a requirement. 

The situation was resolved on scene, and DPD met with representatives of the team to address their concerns. The matter has since been resolved.
