Two brothers at camp describe devastating Texas floods
The flooding in Texas has killed more than 100 people, officials say, as dozens remain missing. Two young brothers, Braeden and Brock Davis, were attending Camp La Junta, which is near the Guadalupe River, when the disaster struck. "For me, the whole time I didn't really know what was going on until people came into our cabin and like the director, Scott, he told us that there was a flood, but to be honest, I didn't really know what was going on," 9-year-old Braeden Davis said. He told "CBS Mornings" co-host Gayle King that there wasn't any water inside his cabin, but it was a different story for his brother, Brock. "When I woke up, I turned my flashlight on and I think I saw water like outside and then like we had to get on the rafters," said Brock Davis, 7. The boys' mother, Keli Rabon, explained how Brock escaped, saying, "He had to climb from initially the bottom bunk to then the top bunk and then ultimately to the rafters to try to avoid the water. As a mom, that sounds quite terrifying. I think he's still processing." For Braeden Davis, his primary concern was for his little brother. "Well, when they were saying like cabin six was like in the middle of the flood, I was like, 'That's crazy because my little brother was in that cabin.' ... It's basically just flat ground, so imagine water coming there and the current is just rushing and rushing and you have no idea what's going on," he said. "So I just imagine Brock — to be honest, I was more worried about Brock than myself." Rabon said the two had only been at camp for one full day. She received a text from the camp saying that it flooded overnight, but that everyone was OK. The camp also did not have power or cell service. Several hours later, she got another update. "It just started to sound worse, and meanwhile I start searching, seeing what's going on in the Hill Country, and it was far worse than I would have ever imagined," Rabon said. "So, you know, as a mama bear, immediately I'm like, 'I got to get in the car and go.'" Rabon described the moment she reunited with her sons as a "sense of joy and relief," but added she also felt "bittersweet sadness because at that point I had already heard about what was going on at some of the other places." "It's almost like you have this sense of survivor's guilt because you feel so much joy to see your children, but you still know that so many people are hurting and desperately looking for theirs," she said. Rabon asked for support while their communities begin to recover from the devastation. "There are kids from around the country that go to these camps and so so many are really hurting right now and so we just ask that the entire country just really wrap us in your love and in your prayers," she said. Flooding kills at least 104 people Camp Mystic, a private Christian camp for girls in Hunt, Texas, confirmed on Monday that 27 campers and counselors were killed in the Central Texas flooding. There were approximately 750 kids at Camp Mystic when the flooding occurred. "Our hearts are broken alongside our families that are enduring this unimaginable tragedy," the camp said in a statement on its website. "We are praying for them constantly." Officials say the death toll in the flash flooding has climbed to at least 104 people.

A Penn State wrestling All-American is facing misdemeanor charges related to a late-March incident at a State College fraternity house. Police have charged Braedan Davis, a 20-year-old sophomore for the dynastic Nittany Lions, with defiant trespass, evading arrest and resisting arrest, as well as summary offenses of underage drinking and publicly drunkenness.

Mandatory Credit: Bill Streicher-Imagn Images Police were called to the scene after Davis refused requests by fraternity members and private security to leave the Tau Kappa Epsilon house, 346 E. Prospect Ave., according to an affidavit of probable cause filed by borough police and first reported by David allegedly attempted to flee from police while they were questioning him and another man at the scene. During the ensuing chase and apprehension, Davis allegedly broke an officer's wristwatch and radio earpiece and damaged his body camera, according to the affidavit.

Penn State officials acknowledged the charges against Davis but refused to comment, "as this is an ongoing legal matter." Davis, who also finished fourth at this year's Big Ten Championships, is one of the top candidates to represent the four-time defending national champions next season at 133 or 141 pounds.

Penn State wrestler faces charges after allegedly fleeing police, refusing to leave frat
An All-American Penn State wrestler is facing multiple charges after police say he refused to leave the property of a local fraternity house in late March before running from an officer and resisting arrest while visibly intoxicated. Braeden Davis, 20, had a blood alcohol content of .225, nearly triple the adult legal limit of .08, according to tests later taken at Mount Nittany Medical Center and referenced in the criminal complaint. Davis' preliminary hearing is scheduled for 8:30 a.m. on May 21, before District Judge Donald M. Hahn. The incident involving Davis reportedly occurred around 1:30 a.m. on Saturday, March 29, less than a week after Penn State wrestling won its fourth straight national championship where Davis finished fifth nationally at 133 pounds. 'We are aware of the charges against Braeden Davis,' a statement from Penn State Athletics read. 'These alleged actions do not reflect the values and standards of our program and will be addressed. We will not comment any further as this is an ongoing legal matter.' According to the criminal complaint, State College police were called to the Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity house (346 E. Prospect Ave.) on March 29 because two men — one of whom was Davis; the other was unidentified in the complaint — were asked to leave the property at least twice but refused. When the first police officer arrived, he found the two men arguing with private security. When borough police approached Davis and he was informed he could not go until he had been identified, Davis took off running — and an officer caught up to him in about 10 yards, per the complaint. Police said Davis attempted to wrestle free while an officer told him to, 'Stop resisting.' After two more officers arrived, police said Davis then complied. According to the officer who tussled with Davis, the officer's wristwatch and radio earpiece were broken. His body-worn camera was also ripped off its mount and lying on the nearby ground, but was still recording, per the complaint. State College police then transported Davis to the station, where he received a preliminary breath test, which tested positive for alcohol. Centre LifeLink Emergency Medical Services then evaluated Davis and transported him to the hospital 'as a result of an alcohol overdose,' according to the complaint. Davis is facing five charges, including resisting arrest; evading arrest or detention on foot; criminal trespass; purchase, consumption, possession or transportation of alcohol while under 21; and public drunkenness. No offense rises above a second-degree misdemeanor. The wrestler is a rising junior. He won four Michigan state championships in high school, before winning the Big Ten title (125 pounds) as a college freshman and earning All-America honors (133) as a sophomore.
