The reporting party advised that a subject later identified as Ramon Trevino Ortiz, 45, was muttering about “unknown things” when confronted about crossing through his property. “The argument escalated and Ortiz produced an axe from his waistline and began swinging it around and lunged at the victim,” a news release said. “The…

Storms generally peak between mid-July and mid-August bringing high winds, high temperatures and high moisture resulting in potentially dangerous weather conditions.

Knowing what to do when in an emergency is…
