Sinkhole shuts down SH 21 near Uhland


CEDAR PARK, Texas (KXAN) — Cedar Park police have a man custody after he prompted a SWAT standoff at an apartment complex Thursday night.

At around 7:30 p.m. police received a call from a female acquaintance of Galen K. Wasem’s who expressed concern about his mental health. Officers responded to the Muir Lake Apartments on 12600 Avery Ranch Blvd where Wasem refused to come out of an apartment and talk.

Because it was believed Wasem had a weapon, SWAT sent a robot to find out what was going on inside and found he had blocked a door with furniture.

According to Cedar Park Police Commander Bryan Wukash, Wasem, at some point went, to a vacant unit by entering through the attic. SWAT members eventually entered the apartment and took him into custody.

At 1:22 a.m., Cedar Park Police announced the SWAT standoff had ended peacefully. An official told media that law enforcement never talked to Wasem during the standoff and only made contact through a family member.

Wasem did not have a weapon when taken into custody but police later found one in his apartment.

Wasem was booked into the Williamson County Jail and has been charged with Criminal Trespass for making entry into the vacant apartment.

Police had earlier ordered people living in buildings 11, 12 and 13 to shelter in place.

Come moving day, would you rather have the movers pack, or unpack, your stuff?

The moving process is stressful from beginning to end. But we asked five New Yorkers to pinpoint their preferred luxury: Having movers help you pack or unpack?  Here's what they had to say: Soak up the memories When you pack up a place yourself you get to say goodbye to it. Open up a bottle of wine with a friend, roommate or significant other, get drunk and fall asleep on the boxes. Then make sure you have your new apartment unpacked for you.— Matt, Downtown Brooklyn (pictured below) Packing up is way easier I’d rather have a mover help me unpack—and if they could add in a professional organizer who could say no!— Lauren, Upper West Side I’ve never met a box I didn’t like I’d much rather have the help unpacking since it always takes me at least a week to unpack after a vacation, let alone moving my whole life. Torture.— Tori, Crown Heights, Brooklyn Let the experts pack up I’m always going to be the first one to ask for packing help. Unpacking is a different story, however, as I ...
