A 28-year-old Luling woman was pronounced dead Sunday morning, hours after she had been placed in the Caldwell County Jail on a public intoxication charge.

Sarah Trevino was a passenger in a car stopped on U.S. 183 in Lockhart by a sheriff's deputy about 3 a.m. Sunday , according to a written statement from Sheriff Daniel Law. Trevino was arrested on suspicion of public intoxication and taken to the Caldwell County Jail. The driver, 35-year-old Natividad Rodriguez, was charged with driving while intoxicated and held in the jail with bail set at $1,000 Monday.

About 9:55 a.m., another inmate saw Trevino turning blue and alerted the jailers, who found Trevino unresponsive and "possibly not breathing," Law and other county officials said. Emergency Medical Services was called, and Trevino was taken to Central Texas Medical Center in San Marcos, where she was pronounced dead, Law said.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) -- U.S. officials say part of a vehicle barrier along the U.S.-Mexico border that was built on the wrong side of the border will be removed and rebuilt on American soil. U.S. Customs and Border Protection spokesman Michael Friel tells The Associated Press that the agency wants to move quickly and put the barrier north of the border.
