Man arrested after he rescues swimmer
Today's tale of local government employees run amuck has to be read to be believed. There is little doubt that had this man not done what he did, the fellow he rescued would hve died.

When Dave Newman waded out of the San Marcos River on Sunday afternoon, he was exhausted. He had just pulled Abed Duamni of Houston out of the swirling waters below Joe's Crab Shack and deposited him, safe and sound, on the far shoreline. Then Newman, of San Marcos, was handcuffed, put in a Texas State University police squad car and taken to jail, where he was charged with interfering with public duties.
