District Judge Removed as Enrique Arochi Appeals Christina Morris Kidnapping Conviction. State District Judge Mark Rusch, who presided over convicted kidnapper Arochi’s trail last year, has been disqualified and recused from further proceedings in the case. Arochi filed the motion through his attorney Steve Miears, who accused Rusch of bias, suggesting that the judge “violated Arochi’s due process rights by unlawfully interfering with the attorney-client relationship.” Last September, Arochi was convicted of the aggravated kidnaping of Morris, who has not been seen since Aug. 30, 2014.

DART Could Raise Bus and Rail Fares. One change would phase out two-hour passes, replacing them with a.m. and p.m. passes. The cost would be $3 by August 2018, and monthly passes would go up from $80 to $96. There will be two public meetings—one at Addison Town Hall and the other at Rowlett City Hall—next Thursday to discuss the proposed changes.

Frisco and McKinney Are Two of the Nation’s Fastest-Growing Cities. Which is evident if you’ve sat in Frisco traffic lately. The two cities dominated the U.S. Census Bureau’s list, with Frisco coming in second with a 6.2 percent growth and McKinney at third with a 5.9 percent gain.

Monday is Memorial Day. Here’s how you can observe the day.
