Here are the top three stories in Round Rock today:

1. On Jun. 22, Round Rock Police arrested 48-year-old Mariana Salgado after she called police to report a burglary. According to police, the man she accused of burglary was a Honduran national trying to escape her home. He had been forced to live at her home while he paid off a $9,200 debt to Salgado, which was what she charged for his travel from Mexico to Texas. Salgado is being charged with a third-degree felony of smuggling of persons and is currently in Williamson County Jail. (KXAN)
2. On Jun. 29, the City of Round Rock announced that it has entered Stage 1 Mandatory Drought Restrictions due to the prolonged period of hot and dry conditions. Stage 1 enforces a maximum of two outdoor watering days per week and residents must follow the City’s designated outdoor watering schedule. View the link for the schedule. (City of Round Rock)
