The Texas Rangers raided the home of Anthony, Texas, mayor, Art Franco on Tuesday. The FBI said it assisted with the investigation. The Department of Public Safety would only say that it is investigating Franco, but it won’t say why.
Franco told KFOX14 News that he’s confident that everything will turn out OK. He also wouldn’t say what the investigation was about.
“This started back when I ran for mayor last year,” Franco said. “It’s an ongoing investigation.”
KFOX14 News found out through a source that the investigation may have to do with misappropriations of funds and credit card abuse.
Franco said he spent Tuesday evening at a city council meeting.
"The council is behind me,” Franco said. “Hopefully the people are still behind me too."
Texas DPS said there has not been any arrest so far in this case.

Teen pregnancy is not a new problem in our community, but one that various state and federal agencies continue pouring millions of dollars a year into to stop. Yet El Paso teens continue to get pregnant at a higher rate than the rest of the state.
"Everybody says it's not going to happen because I was like that but it really does happen," said Amber Fuentes, who had her son, Christopher, when she was 17 and a high school dropout.
"I have nobody to give me money, I don't live with my parents and I have to go to school and I work and I still have a baby and it takes up all of your time," said Fuentes.
And it continues to happen all over El Paso. Seventy-nine out of every 1,000 teens in El Paso are pregnant. The state average if 65.
"When it comes down to it, we can provide all sorts of instruction, but tragically, when you're looking at issue of being together and alone who knows how the child is going to respond," said Tejas School of Choice Principal Juan Contreras. "There are no excuses and failure is not an option."
Tejas has teen parent programs that provide everything from day care to rides to school.
Having her son made Fuentes realize she had to go back to school, so she enrolled at Tejas, where many of El Paso's pregnant teens go to catch up and graudate---teens like Elizabeth Rivera, 17, who is a mother to 4-month-old Elias.
"It was pretty much hard to tell my mom, because I didn't know how she was going to react. I didn't know what to do," said Rivera. She said she was too afraid to ask her mom about birth control even though she was having regular sex with Elia's father.
Despite the fact that she, like most El Paso teens get abstinence-plus education in school, which means they are taught abstinence but also learn about birth control and condoms, but the teens we met said when it comes to sex ed, no one's really paying attention.
"I thought it was funny, I wasn't really used to talking about sex stuff and condoms, so it was kind of like a joke to me," said Valeria Delarosa, a teen mom pregnant with her second baby.
El Paso's high teen pregnancy rate has lasted several years, despite growing local and state efforts to bring those numbers down. There are teen pregnancy centers all around the city that help with birth control.
The teens we met, however, said those places are mostly where kids go once they're already pregnant.
"I don't think teens really take advantage of the programs, They just don't know what can happen or what's to come. They don't know how hard it is, "said Fuentes.
Jose Castrellon is the director of Catholic Counseling Services, which counsels pregnant teens and their families.
" The parents are not taking a sufficient responsibility in it and leaving it up to schools, yet they complain that the schools are teaching them something they might not like," said Castrellon.
He said even in El Paso's mostly Catholic households, sex ed needs to be a part of the conversation.
"It starts at home. We need to have conversations about dignity; that dignity includes all of their gifts and sexuality is just one of those gifts," said Castrellon.
But whether a parental issue or a societal one, the students I spoke with said the outcome for them was all the same. "
" It sounds bad, but sometimes they just need to experience it on their own to learn, " said Delarosa.

The grandfather of the New Mexico State University student accused of threatening firefighters and trying to pepper-spray students on campus told KFOX14 that the man did it all because he was grieving the death of an ex-girlfriend.
"He's not feeling too good," Ruben Salais said. "His girlfriend died Jan. 4 and so he took it real hard."
Jason Salais, 25, is facing three fourth-degree felony counts and two petty misdemeanors. Police tracked the NMSU student down after he was arrested after a scuffle on campus in which he allegedly tried to pepper-spray people in front of the Corbett Center Student Union.
Police said before the incident at NMSU happened, Salais was outside his Gladys Drive home when he pointed what looked like a handgun at firefighters before following after them in his car.
Ruben Salais said that it wasn't an actual gun, but a toy.
"It was a black handgun," Las Cruces police spokesperson Dan Trujillo said. "Firefighters described it as a black handgun and that happens to be the same type of handgun that we found inside the center console of the vehicle he was driving."
Jason Salais is a convicted felon. He pleaded guilty to charges in 2007 for aggravated fleeing from a law enforcement officer.
Salais is facing charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, along with disorderly conduct and causing a public affray.

Nearly two dozen dilapidated buildings scheduled to be demolished have a tentative date with a wrecking ball, or at least with the city's Building and Standards Commission.
City attorney outlines new regulations to meet U.S. Supreme Court ruling in July
There is a building near Copia and Alameda in south central El Paso that used to be a bar and what looks like a general store, but at one point was condemned and has since started falling apart, according to Bill Stern, who is with the Code Compliance Division of El Paso. Then, in 2010, it ended up basically self-imploding; the roof caving in, Stern said. Now, it's got a huge hole in the wall outside and is blocking a sidewalk and taking up a parking space.
With such a mess it seems, the city's Building and Standards Commission had wanted to demolish it, but a U.S. Supreme Court ruling stopped a lot of scheduled demolitions across the nation, saying some of the practices, including El Paso's, didn't have due process or didn't give the building owners a fair chance to appeal. Now, the county's Attorney's Office has worked to revise the city's building code policies and presented them to the City Council today. Unless the City Council shoots down the revisions, the city's Code Compliance Division said nearly two dozen buildings will either be boarded up or demolished.
"We'll have to resubmit those to the Building and Standards Commission for reconsideration with new structural reports and new recommendations as to the activity that needs to take place at the buildings, and we'll be doing that within the next 60 days," Stern said.
This item is due to come up at the end of April and, if approved, owners of condemned buildings will be notified once again.

Another parent comes forward after seeing a KFOX 14 report. She said her daughter also saw a man masturbating outside Burges High School in east El Paso.
"Jenna just called me. She's scared, she's with the cops, some man exposed himself," said Lisa Flores.
Flores remembers this call from her husband like it was yesterday.
"There was a gentleman in his car, masturbating," said Flores. "He got out of the car and kind of ran after one of the girls."
Flores said she reported the incident to police back in September when it first happened, but she said nothing came of it. Then she saw a KFOX 14 report Feb. 9 about a girl who also saw a man in the same spot outside Burges High masturbating.
"To me it's like they're waiting for something really, really bad to happen," said Flores. "I'm afraid a child a girl or boy, someone's going to get hurt. I was furious, furious, that that evening I put in a call to the detective. I didn't get a call back."
El Paso police said they are actively investigating two cases and El Paso Independent School District police are investigating one.
"We of course are looking at various sex offenders in the area. Trying to get any other type of detail," said Officer Javier Sambrano of the El Paso Police Department.
Sambrano said they understand it is a traumatic experience, but said when it comes to these cases specific details are limited.
"The descriptions given about the individual are different," said Sambrano.
Flores admits her daughter couldn't give the best description.
"It was a smaller model, kind of smaller car, with a checkered print on the side of the car," she said.
Flores' daughter also said he was tall and had a hat, but that's about all the teen could remember.
"After it happened she would cry and cry. She was scared. It was very traumatizing for her," said Flores.
Initially, parents and students KFOX 14 spoke to thought the alleged offender was the same man, but Flores said school officials told her it isn't. Flores and her daughter said regardless if it's one or multiple offenders, they don't want this to happen again, but Flores said school officials aren't doing much to help the situation.
"They could've sent us a message like that. Maybe they didn't have time call a meeting, but advise the parents, 'hey this is what's going on. Please talk to your child,'" said Flores.
School officials sent KFOX 14 this statement:
"Campus administration, EPISD Police and the El Paso Police Department began working together to investigate this case as soon as it was reported; and are continuing their investigation. EPISD Police continue to make extra patrols around the campus to ensure the safety of students at Burges. Students and community members should report any suspected criminal activities immediately to a police agency."
El Paso police also said it is important for anyone who spots suspicious activity to look for specific details from top to bottom on the vehicle and on the person. Sambrano said it is important though for anyone who spots the suspicious activity not to approach the person, but rather call 9-1-1 with a good description.

A number of El Pasoans were stuck in a rush hour traffic jam after an east El Paso gas line break that closed a long stretch of I-10 but at the time didn't know what was going on.
El Paso Emergency Responders said they didn't send an alert to the 200,000 El Pasoans registered with the system, because it would be unsafe to have drivers answering a message on a cellphone.
"We don't want to advocate cellphone use while driving, especially when TXDOT was relaying the message through its electronic road signs," said El Paso Fire Chief Otto Drozd.
According to Drozd, the notification system can't notify everyone at once and it takes a number of hours to reach everyone registered, so by the time the responders could organize a message and send it to everyone, the roadways would be open again. The systems costs $78,000 per year to run. It was launched in 2011 right as the "February Freeze" was creeping into the borderland.
"At that time we started getting complaints from people who said we were notifying them too much," Drozd said. "Or they were getting calls at 3 o'clock in the morning because it takes a while for the system to get to everyone. The system is still relatively young and we have some kinks to work out."
Construction crews broke a natural gas line near Gateway East Boulevard and Corral Drive around 3:15 p.m. Monday. Nearly 350 people were evacuated and the eastbound lanes of I-10 were closed along with Gateway East Boulevard as a precaution to avoid an explosion. No one was seriously injured. The Texas Gas Service said an investigation is pending.
Tuesday morning a spokemans for Texas Gas Service said he could not confirm which contractor may have caused the break. Construction workers at the scene on Monday said they worked for Border Drilling, LLC. which was working to replace the gas line. KFOX 14 found public records showing a Border Drilling has a contract with TXDOT, but Leo Betancourt, director of operations for TXDOT, said his department had issued Texas Gas Service a permit to replace the gas lines along Gateway East Boulevard. The gas company hired the contractors, according to Betancourt. E.P. Seal-Rite Pipeline, Inc. was another company on scene at the time of the gas leak, according to a company manager who said the matter is still under investigation.

A crowd of people who never even personally knew Brianna Lopez, also known as "Baby Brianna," came out to Dona Ana cemetery Tuesday for a memorial to honor what would have been her 10th birthday.
Brianna was just 5.5 months old when she died in July of 2002. She was raped and beaten by her father, Andrew Walters, and uncle, Steven Lopez.
Her mother, Stephanie Lopez, never reported the crimes. All three of them are now in prison.
"It's unbelievable that people would do something like that to anyone, let alone a child," mourner Josie Ostos said.
"Her memory needs to live long," children's advocate Orlando-Antonio Jimenez said.
A memorial of toys, cards and balloons sat on the grave site during the memorial.
Brianna's parents never took any actual photos of her while she was alive. The only photos of her were taken after she died, and they had to be digitally changed to erase her bruises.
Brianna's grave site remains covered in a metal cage alongside a wooden bench that was donated by the Remember Me Foundation in 2010.
"Tragic events like this happen, and we need to do things to prevent it and we all need to be aware," Dona Ana County District Attorney Amy Orlando said.
"We miss you, Brianna," Jimenez said.
After her death, Brianna's Law was passed, which gives anyone convicted of child abuse that ends in death a life sentence.
Orlando said there are currently two pending cases in the county to which the new law applies.
Brianna's Law was passed while Gov. Susana Martinez was Dona Ana County's district attorney. Martinez and Orlando were both prosecutors in Brianna's case.

A family who used to live at the Lake Fairway apartments in East El Paso said they broke their lease to save their health.
Lorenzo Maesse and his wife said the problems inside their apartment started almost immediately after they moved in.
First it was the heater, which they saw took two months to fix, and then a flea problem from upstairs spread to their apartment.
The final straw, they said, was when a next-door neighbor's apartment flooded into theirs, destroying some property.
They said management wanted to clean it up and then have them stay inside the same apartment, but they said the humidity and mold were too much for their newborn baby, so they moved out.
"Our baby, for his health, he's only 3 weeks old, we don't need a reason to be boiling hot water, when they're supposed to be providing this with the rent," said Lorenzo Maesse.
The Lake Fairway management let them out of their lease but now Maesse wants his deposit back.
They've also filed a complaint with City Environmental services.
Coming up tonight at 9, what the city has to say about possible code violations at this complex.
KFOX has been trying for some time now to get a comment from the Lake Fairway management office. They told us they would be releasing a statement about the allegations today, Tuesday, but so far, we haven't received anything.

A scuffle at an area McDonald's restaurant led to a teen's arrest after police said he took a handgun from a private security guard.
After 4 p.m. Feb. 13, Las Cruces police were called to the McDonald's restaurant located on El Paseo Road, where a private security guard was involved in a conflict with a group of teenage boys and had his firearm stolen.
Police said the security guard was patrolling when he saw a juvenile smoking a cigarette outside the restaurant. When the security guard confronted him, the juvenile approached the guard in a threatening manner, police said. The guard pushed him away but was punched by the juvenile in the face.
Two other juveniles joined in the scuffle, punching and kicking the guard until he fell to the ground, police said.
During the encounter, the guard's Smith & Wesson .357 Magnum became dislodged from the holster and slid across the concrete. Manuel Felix, 17, who was inside the restaurant when the skirmish started, grabbed the handgun and ran across the street, police said.
Felix tossed the handgun in a dumpster before attending a scheduled court hearing at the Families & Youth Inc. building located on Solano Drive, police said.
After the hearing, Felix returned to the dumpster, where we retrieved the handgun and buried it in his back yard, police said. Police said they recovered the handgun from the home.
Manuel Felix, 17, is charged with larceny of a firearm and tampering with evidence and is being held without bond at the Doña Ana County Detention Center.
Anyone with information about the other juveniles involved in the scuffle is asked to contact the Las Cruces Police Department.

A large house fire in east El Paso has firefighters battling a massive blaze.
Fire officials said that Gene McCowen was soldering pipes in his backyard when he lost control and the fire started. His East El Paso home went up in flames.
Flames shooting into the air can be seen coming from the home at 2041 Gus Moran Street from a distance.
Jorge Adela said he rushed to McCowen's house to try to help him save his dogs. McCowen went back inside and didn't return, so Adela went in after him.
He looked like he was lost," Adela said. "I know he was scared."
Adela said that McCowen was on the floor of his garage when he found him.
"The only thing that helped me find him was that he had a tiny flashlight," Adela said. "I heard him say, 'I'm over here. I'm over here. I just went through the smoke and the darkness, and I found him, lying on the floor because of the little light. So I picked him up and managed to open the little garage door, and get him out."
The fire started at about 2:30 p.m.
El Paso fire officials said 39 firefighters are dealing with blaze. The flames ripped through the roof of McCowen's home. At one point, the fire threatened the homes on either side. Firefighters told KFOX14 crews that it was a difficult fire to fight.
Once the fire was put out, the home was deemed a total loss.
No one was hurt in the fire and all of McCowen's pets made it out alive.

Jason Salais, 25, was arrested Monday at New Mexico State University for causing a disturbance and is also under suspicion for threatening Las Cruces firefighters with a handgun earlier that day.
Salais, who allegedly pepper sprayed NMSU students on campus, is being charged with three fourth-degree felony counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
As three Las Cruces firefighters left Station 4 on Missouri Avenue, they saw a white Toyota Camry speed by at around noon. The driver, later identified as Salais, made obscene gestures to the firefighters, fire officials said.
Salais stopped in front of the fire truck and continued the gestures until he turned onto Gladys Drive.
Fire officials said that Salais may have been intoxicated.
The firefighters pursued Salais in order to report his whereabouts to the police. They found the Toyota parked at 2115 Gladys Dr., where Salais allegedly pulled a black handgun from his waistband and pointed it at the firefighters.
Firefighters alerted the Las Cruces Police Department about the situation, and Salais was detained by state police on NMSU's campus a few hours later.
Police later discovered the alleged handgun was a black Umarex BB gun.
Salais is currently detained at the Doña Ana County Detention Center under a $15,000 bond.
A bystander captured the NMSU pepper spray incident on camera and uploaded it online.
The video contains foul language. Viewer discretion is advised.

Move over, estrogen. There's a new theory that helps explain why men are more likely than women to get heart disease.
A new study shows that some men may inherit a higher risk for heart disease directly from their fathers.
The finding is significant in the world of genetics because it ties heart disease risk to the male Y chromosome. Previous studies have suggested that the Y chromosome, which carries relatively few genes, has little to do with inheritance beyond conferring male sex characteristics.
“It gives a completely new role for the Y chromosome,” says Lisa Bloomer, MSc, who made the discovery as a third-year PhD student in the department of cardiovascular sciences at the University of Leicester in the U.K. “It changes a lot of how we see genetics and the sex chromosomes and how important they are.”
A Visual Guide to Heart Disease
For the study, which is published in The Lancet, an international team of researchers analyzed DNA from more than 3,000 men in the U.K.
In particular, they looked at 11 regions on the Y chromosome. Because the Y chromosome has not changed much over time, scientists can use these regions to determine a person’s ancestry. In genetics, people with shared ancestry belong to the same haplogroup. There are thought to be about 30 haplogroups worldwide.
Researchers found that men who developed heart disease were more likely to belong to the same haplogroup -- haplogroup I -- compared to men who stayed healthy. In fact, being a member of haplogroup I raised a man’s risk for heart disease by about 50% compared to men of different backgrounds.
That risk remained even after researchers took into account traditional risk factors for heart disease like high blood pressure, cholesterol, smoking, diabetes, and obesity.
Haplogroup I was the third most powerful predictor that men would develop heart disease, behind their HDL, or “good,” cholesterol levels, and whether or not they were taking cholesterol-lowering drugs. Experts estimate that about 20% of men in Europe and 10% of men in the U.S. belong to haplogroup I.
The lineage is more commonly found in northern European countries, like Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, and it becomes less frequent in southern countries including Spain, France, and Italy.
“You see kind of a gradient in Europe between the North and the South,” Bloomer says. “Many more people in the North have this group than in [the] South, and you have many more people getting coronary artery disease in the North of Europe than in the South.”
Beyond the association between heart disease and haplogroup, researchers went one step further. They looked to see if the activity of certain blood cells was different between ancestral groups. They found that genes related to the development of atherosclerosis -- hardening of the arteries -- were more active in men who belonged to haplogroup I. There were other key differences related to inflammation and immune function.
“The sex chromosomes matter in terms of disease,” says Virginia M. Miller, PhD, a professor of physiology and surgery at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn.
Miller, who studies sex differences in heart disease, wrote a commentary on the new findings, but she was not involved in the research.
She says the new findings mean that family history may be a stronger predictor of heart disease risk for men than for women.
“You may have a family history, but this paper says it matters if it’s from your father’s side and you’re a man,” she says.
Some heart disease risk calculators, like the widely used Framingham Risk Score, don’t account for family history or whether it comes from the mother’s or father’s side, she says. If further research confirms the findings of this study, Miller thinks they will probably need adjusting.
“We need to broaden our scope in terms of what is the individual risk and really personalize it for people in terms of managing their own health,” she says.

A SWAT situation at an east El Paso home where a man barricaded himself ended up in a hospital, faces charges.
Police officers and the SWAT team had the Dublin Street area surrounded for more than five hours beginning at 4 p.m. Monday. It ended with the suspect, whom a relative identified as Glen Sanderson, being taken away in an ambulance and officers removing a gun from the house.
Police have not said why Sanderson knocked on a neighbor's door with a gun or if he indeed threatened to kill anyone.
"After multiple attempts to try to establish communication, we still had no contact with this individual, so the SWAT team did make entry into the home to locate the individual. Once the individual was located, there was a brief struggle, but he was taken into custody without any further incident," said police spokesman Javier Sambrano.
Concerned for his safety, Sanderson's sister, Peggy Penalber, contacted KFOX14 and said her brother suffers from schizophrenia
"He was in the UBH hospital and was court ordered to 90 days of outpatient therapy. He is supposed to be seeing a doctor and he is supposed to be on medication," said Penalber.
Emergency health units were standing by the entire time.
"That's far most our main concern - getting him cleared medically, and then from there he will be facing criminal charges," said Sambrano.
His sister had said he didn't own a handgun but officers discovered a weapon in the home.
"There was a BB gun, but again, there was an actual firearm that was also found," said Sambrano.
Police did not identify the man but his description fits what Penalber told KFOX14.
After the man's medical examination he will booked at the El Paso County Jail.

A Socorro Independent School District student was allowed back on campus Monday after being suspended for an inappropriate haircut last week.
Andrew Morales, 14, was placed under an in-school suspension Thursday at Paso Del Norte School after he showed up with three lines shaved on the side of his head.
Administrators said the haircut violated school rules.
KFOX14 spoke with Ivonne Morales, Andrew's mother, Monday, and she claims the situation was mishandled.
"We did speak with the main principal, Ms. Williams, (who) was not there on Friday," Morales said. "She said she would've handled it much differently; she would've given us the opportunity to either let it grow or see how it work(s) out."
Morales said she was unaware that the haircut was against school policy and will make sure it doesn't happen again.

Two people are recovering from injures they sustained in a serious crash in Las Cruces.
Las Cruces police assisted New Mexico State Police Monday afternoon when the driver of a black pickup traveling westbound on U.S. 70 lost control and went across both eastbound lanes before eventually rolling over on to a frontage road.
The crash happened near the Sonoma Ranch Boulevard exit around 4 p.m.
According to officers the truck then hit another vehicle that was on the Bataan Memorial East frontage road. Two people inside the truck were airlifted to University Medical Center in El Paso.
Police said their injuries appeared to be life-threatening.
Las Cruces police are investigating a separate crash on the westbound lanes of U.S. 70 and a few other fender-benders that happened on Northrise Boulevard since traffic was detoured from the original rollover.
All lanes of U.S. 70 were reopened after being shut down for at least an hour Monday afternoon.
