Sarah Bland. (not first hanging at the jail, just the most recent).
A few months ago two sheriff's cars were burgled for 8 weapons.
Right now Sheriff is in the spotlight again because he can't account for two more weapons his department owns.
Lawsuit against Holcomb.
Seems to be a cloud of "win" over Waller County.
Looks like these guys are losing firearms right and left. This article from December '15 reports 10 weapons, two from a county commissioner and eight from the sheriff, including a machine gun. Now two more are missing. I understand why they will prosecute anyone who disobeys their illegal 30.0/07 signs. They're trying to rebuild their firearms inventory.
They're more interested in pursuing the most law abiding group of people in Texas rather than the criminals stealing their property.

If sworn peace officers are
actually illegally enforcing the county's corrupted will in defiance of state law, then I would not be one bit surprised if searches of the homes of the involved officers turned up the missing weapons........including the machine gun. It sounds like they've got themselves a nice little mafioso deal going on down there. It's time to drain that swamp too. Why the heck don't the county's voters do something about it? If county officials are that corrupt on this issue, they are almost certainly corrupt in other areas of the law too. Surely there must be a growing body of county voters who are fed up with business as usual?
