In December of 2021 Cisco Police conducted an investigation of Aggravated Sexual Assault of two minors. This was reported to have been occurring for an extended period of time. As a result of that investigation Joshua Reyes of Cisco was arrested on 2 felony charges of Continuous Sexual Assault of a Child.

Mc-Daniel a former math teacher for over 40 years at Cisco College and also a former resident of Carbon, Texas. He was an avid researcher of railroad material, but along the way recorded in his notes information about other historical happenings of the Cisco and Eastland County area.
