The Erie County District Attorney’s Office said Wednesday that 51-year-old Latif Maredia and 53-year- old Ilias Maredia, both of Stafford, Texas, pleaded guilty to grand larceny and were sentenced to five years’ probation. Prosecutors say the broth- ers kept more than $1.2 mil- lion in sales tax from seven gas stations they owned in the county between March 2008 and June 2012. Officials say the Maredias have repaid $612,000 to New York state and are required to pay the same amount over the next five years. Student dies after truck hits van TRINITY, Texas — Officials say one student has been killed and 10 hurt when an East Texas school van was rear-ended while stopped to pick up children. The Department of Public Safety says the Trinity Independent School District van was struck by a pickup truck Thursday morning, 5 miles west of Trinity. That’s 75 miles north of Houston. Students in both vehicles were hurt. A spokeswoman for East Texas Medical Center in Trinity says 10 children and the school van driver were in fair condition. Trinity County Sheriff Woody Wallace says the 7- year-old girl from the van, who died at the hospital, was a deputy’s daughter.
