Good morning, Beaumont.

Beloved retired Nederland Police Chief Gary Porter died early Sunday morning after a brave fight with cancer, surrounded by his family.

He served for 47 1/2 years in law enforcement and retired on May 31 — he began as a dispatcher at 18 and rose to chief in 2018 after Darrell Bush's retirement.

A worker died in an industrial accident at Golden Pass LNG at 3:30 p.m. on Sunday — the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office and OSHA are investigating the incident to determine the cause of death.
