– We have an update to a story; we told you about over the weekend dealing with the oil problems in rural Liberty County.a judge in Harris County issued a temporary restraining order against Jay Management Company, ordering the oil and gas operator to stop all services immediately in the small community of Dayton.An emergency hearing was held Wednesday morning. Judge Robert Schaffer could not hear from both sides because of ongoing hearings but said the defendant must follow the TRO.
A resident invited KPRC 2 on his property to show us an active oil pump owned by Jay Management Company. The homeowner said the problem has been going on for at least a year despite a judge’s order to stop all production. Court documents also revealed that Rosa Hilda Alejandro was detained for trespassing by members of law enforcement working on behalf of Jay Management Company. Rosa said she was in her food truck on her own property. In a video recorded by Alejandro she tells an officer no and repeatedly said this is my property.Residents also said several pumps are still being operated around the community and equipment is starting to deteriorate. Mariea Nares has a new leak on her property.
