Notes
HOUSTON (AP) — A Houston man has been arrest-
ed in the 2014 slaying of a woman whose body was
found in an abandoned warehouse.
Harris County court records show 34-year-old Lu-
cius Alexander Williams was being held Tuesday on a
murder charge. Online records do not list an attorney
to speak for Williams, who was arrested Monday and
bond set at $100,000.
Police have said 35-year-old Lakeisha Perkins, who
worked at her family’s upholstery business, was last
seen alive by relatives on July 21,2014.
A tip to 911 led to her body found the next day. An
autopsy determined Perkins was sexually assaulted
and died from her injuries.
A police statement Tuesday said evidence at the
scene identified Williams as a suspect. Police didn’t
immediately provide further details on the investiga-
tion.

SLEEP APNEA
PARTI
DALLAS (AP) — State troopers
are assisting Dallas police by serving
warrants on “high-threat criminals” as
the city tackles a surge in violent crime
that last month prompted Gov. Greg
Abbott to offer state resources to help.
Troopers are particularly focused on
rounding up gang members, Texas De-
partment of Public Safety spokesman
Tom Vinger said in a statement Tues-
day.
Dallas Police Chief David Brown
told a city council committee Monday
that his department’s newly formed
violent crime task force has curtailed
the rate of violent incidents. But, ac-
cording to The Dallas Morning News,
he added that, “We’ve got a lot of work
to do. This is nowhere near where we
need to be.”
Dallas police in a statement Tuesday
reiterated the role of state troopers but
did not elaborate.
Aggravated assaults have increased
by 30 percent over the first three
months of the year compared to the
same period last year, and robberies
have jumped by 15 percent. There’ve
been 45 killings so far this year, com-
pared to 26 over the same period in
2015.
Brown has reminded residents that

State troopers assist Dallas
PD by serving warrants
while the rate of killings has increased,
it’s dropped significantly from the
248 recorded in 2004. There were 136
killings in all of 2015, up from 116 the
prior year.
The response to the surge in crime
had prompted friction between Brown
and rank-and-file officers on how to
combat the issue.
He told city councilors last month
that hundreds of officers would be
reassigned to target high-crime neigh-
borhoods and bulk up staffing on a 4
p.m. to midnight shift. Others would be
placed on task forces concentrating on
areas such as serving domestic violence
warrants, Brown said, and more offi-
cers, including top commanders, would
be assigned to foot patrols.
But officers complained the chang-
es would disrupt their personal lives,
and at least one police union called on
Brown to resign. Three other leading
police unions also complained about
the sweeping changes.
Brown and City Manager A.C. Gon-
zalez later released a joint statement
saying Brown “has heard his officers’
concerns.” Officials are studying the
matter and promised it will include
feedback from a force that has more
than 3,500 officers.
NOTICE OF RATE CHANGE REQUEST
Southwestern Electric Power Company (SWEPCO or Company) publishes this notice that
on March 16, 2016, it filed its Statement of Intent and Application for Authority to Amend
Transmission Cost Recovery Factor (TCRF) with the Public Utility Commission of Texas
(PUCT or Commission) in Docket No. 45691. The filing was made in accordance with the
Public Utility Regulatory Act (PURA) § 36.209 and the Tex. Admin. Code (TAC) § 25.239.
The TCRF will recover SWEPCO’s reasonable and necessary costs for transmission infra-
structure improvements as well as changes in wholesale transmission charges under a tariff
approved by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to the extent that the costs
or charges nave not otherwise been recovered. In this application, SWEPCO seeks to recover
its transmission capital investments through December 31, 2015. SWEPCO also seeks to
recover through the TCRF approved transmission charges that are not otherwise being re-
covered through current rates.
This notice is being published in accordance with PURA § 36.103 and 16 TAC § 22.51(a)(1).
STATEMENT OF INTENT TO CHANGE RATES
SWEPCO requests that the Commission approve a TCRF that would result in an increase in
SWEPCO’s Texas retail revenue requirement of $4,922,815 per annum above the amount ap-
proved in SWEPCO’s previous TCRF case (PUCT Docket No. 44496). This amounts to a 1.55
percent increase in SWEPCO’s overall annualized current Texas retail revenue requirement.
SWEPCO proposes that its requested rate change become effective 35 days after the filing of
the Statement of Intent and Application. The proposed effective date is subject to suspension
and extension by actions that may be taken by the Commission.
All customers in SWEPCO’s Texas retail rate classes will be affected by this change. The
impact of the rate change on various customer classes will vary from the overall impact de-
scribed in this notice.
REQUEST FOR TEMPORARY RATES
SWEPCO requests that the Commission or assigned administrative law judge issue an or-
der establishing SWEPCO’s existing TCRF as a temporary rate effective 120 days after the
filing of the Statement of Intent and Application subject to refund or surcharge to the extent
the TCRF established pursuant to the Statement of Intent and Application differs from the
existing TCRF.

and Application may contact SWEPCO at 428 Travis Street, Shreveport, Louisiana 71101, or

Q: I have been diagnosed
with sleep apnea. Can you
give me some information
about this disorder?
A: Sleep apnea is generally
categorized as obstructive,
central, and mixed. The
most common form of
apnea is call Obstructive
sleep apnea (OSA).
Tissues in the upper throat
collapse at intervals when
the person is asleep,
blocking the passage
of air. A person with
obstructive sleep apnea
may stop breathing up to
a hundred or more times a
night. These episodes can
last 10 seconds or more
and de-crease the amount
of oxygen in the blood.
Eventually the lack of
oxygen triggers the lungs
to suck in air and the
person may snort or gasp
but do not realize they
have a problem. They may
have vague symptoms
such as morning headache,
be very tired during the
day or some-what irritable.
People with sleep apnea
may only realize they
have a problem when their
spouse or partner tells
them their loud snoring
kept them awake all night.
More about sleep apnea
next week.
