City is asked to enact liquor store rules

ARLINGTON — School trustees adopted a resolution Thursday night asking Dalworthington Gardens officials to enact guidelines to keep liquor stores at least 1,000 feet from schools. Voters in Dalworthington Gardens, a municipality inside Arlington, approved a measure Tuesday to allow liquor sales for off-premises consumption. The Arlington district has one school in Dalworthington Gardens — Key Elementary, 3621 Roosevelt Drive. The Dalworthington Gardens City Council and Planning and Zoning Commission will hold a joint meeting Tuesday night to discuss establishing minimum distances from churches, schools and hospitals for alcoholic-beverage sales, according to the city’s Web site. — Traci Shurley

TCU student reports attempted assault

FORT WORTH — Police have stepped up patrols near Texas Christian University after a woman reported that a man tried to grab her about 11:30 p.m. Thursday as she walked near Jarvis Hall. The TCU student told an officer that she pushed her attacker away. She described the man as 6 feet and in his late 20s with shaggy blond hair. The suspect was last seen going north toward Cantey Street. Investigators are trying to determine whether the incident is related to other recent assaults on TCU students, said Sgt. Pedro Criado, a police spokesman. On Oct. 13, a student reported being sexually assaulted by a man as she walked in the 2900 block of University Drive. And another student has told police that she might have been slipped a date-rape drug and sexually assaulted Sept. 17. — Mitch Mitchell
