DALLAS (AP) — The first aerial spraying of insecticides in the Dallas area since the 1960s is set for this week in the battle against the worst outbreak of West Nile virus in the nation so far this year.

An official with the company hired to spray for mosquitoes in Dallas County says at least two planes will be in position by Thursday evening.

Clarke spokeswoman Laura McGowan said Tuesday that the chemical, synthetic pyrethroid (py-REE-throid), will be spread in small amounts and is safe for residents.

Truck spraying continued Monday in Dallas County, where 10 deaths have been attributed to West Nile virus this year. Mosquitoes carry the virus from birds to humans.

Dallas County had aerial spraying in 1966 for an encephalitis outbreak that resulted in more than a dozen deaths.

DALLAS (AP) — Two brothers have been charged with robbing the same North Texas bank twice.

Federal prosecutors in Dallas on Wednesday announced the indictment of 43-year-old James Robert Cleveland Butler and 45-year-old Johnny Charles Butler.

The siblings allegedly held up a Bank of America branch in Forney last Nov. 25 and again on May 18. Both were arrested following an Aug. 2 standoff at their home in Quinlan, about 25 miles northeast of Forney.

Each brother faces two counts of armed bank robbery and one count of possessing a firearm during a violent crime.

Johnny Butler is also charged with assault on a federal officer and discharging a firearm during a crime. Prosecutors say gunfire came from within the Butler home during the standoff. Johnny Butler was wounded before the pair surrendered.
