KELI From Inkwell, this is the Amarillo News Drop. I'm Keli, with Hast.

HAST Good morning. Crime first. Amarillo Crime Stoppers is seeking Danzal Kahili Jaheim Jones, twenty-four, wanted in Potter County for burglary and in Randall County for probation violation on an aggravated robbery charge. If you have information, call Crime Stoppers at eight-zero-six-three-seven-four-four-four-zero-zero, or use the P3 Tips app. There's a three-hundred-dollar reward for a tip that leads to arrest.

KELI The simple read is a fugitive alert — routine circulation. But the structure underneath is Randall County flagging someone who's failed probation on a violent felony, not a property crime. That means he was sentenced, released to supervision, and broke the terms. The predictable next move is a warrant confirmation from the District Attorney's office and possible bond forfeiture by Monday if he's located.

HAST Staying with the courts. Randall County is now processing a felony online solicitation of a minor case against Roman Adrian Garcia. Court documents show he communicated with a minor in sexually explicit language and attempted to solicit them. No age range on the minor, no arrest date yet. The charge is felony-level under Texas Penal Code Section twenty-one point zero-two.

KELI Different scale entirely, but same courthouse pressure. Northwest Texas Healthcare System announced this week it's now offering renal denervation treatment — a procedure approved by the FDA in November twenty-twenty-three for high blood pressure management. The system just performed its first patient treatment using the new technique. It's not widespread yet, but signals they're expanding into interventional hypertension care.

HAST Medical news next. Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center School of Medicine welcomes over one hundred eighty students to its Class of twenty-thirty today at the White Coat Ceremony in Lubbock. That's institutional scale — new physicians in the Panhandle pipeline.

KELI Austin piece now. A federal challenge to the city's tree ordinance is underway. An Austin resident filed suit, claiming the city's tree preservation rules exceed municipal authority. This could reshape how Texas cities regulate protected vegetation on private property — watch for similar suits in other municipalities.

HAST One date marker. In nineteen eighty-eight, thirty-two people were killed and more than sixteen hundred injured when a bridge at the Sultan Abdul Halim ferry terminal collapsed in Penang, Malaysia — a structural failure that changed ferry safety standards in Southeast Asia.

KELI That's the Amarillo News Drop. Full script and sources at inkwell.wiki/news/amarillo.

KELI Before we close, a word from Inkwell. Over at Gil's Intelligent Version there's a piece on what the original words of scripture actually say about the Trinity — before any translation decided for us.

HAST Six words, examined in Hebrew and Greek. It's at inkwell dot wiki, slash trinity.
