A Conroe judge told officers he was worthy of special treatment during the DWI stop
Conroe, Texas – Conroe Municipal Court Judge William Waggoner, facing charges for driving while under the influence and unlawful carrying of a weapon, was disciplined in the military for DUI, according to new court documents.
Judge Waggoner was arrested last week in Montgomery after investigators said his vehicle was driving 61 miles per hour in a 35-mile-per-hour zone.
An arrest affidavit obtained this week states the officer noticed a strong smell of alcohol, glassy and bloodshot eyes, slurred speech and that Waggoner was unsteady on his feet.
Waggoner also told the officer to “be aware that he is a judge.”
Waggoner admitted he had been driving, but denied drinking, according to court records. Officers asked him to do standardized field sobriety tests, but documents say he refused to complete the walk-and-turn and one-leg stand tests. He also refused chemical tests, including breath, blood and urine.
Then in 2014, he was arrested for DWI. But the assistant district attorney at the time dismissed the charge, citing “insufficient evidence.”
Most recently in 2017, he was arrested for DWI in San Antonio. Court records show he took a plea deal, got the crime down to a lesser charge and completed court orders to avoid conviction. The charge was dismissed.

Austin Police Officer Joseph Spees was fired on Dec. 3 after internal investigations concluded the veteran cop used excessive and unreasonable force against an intoxicated woman during a Dec. 7, 2024, arrest outside the Austin Marriott Downtown, according to a police memo released.
“Any objectively reasonable officer — and especially an experienced and well-trained officer like Officer Spees — should have been able to handle minimal resistance without immediately resorting to a violent takedown that caused considerable injury,” Austin Police Chief Lisa Davis wrote in the memo. “I would be doing a disservice to the community members of Austin if I retained Officer Spees.”

The concerns were raised around the same time the city conducted an employee survey, roughly six months after Zientek took the job.
According to the city manager, the survey results reflected significant dissatisfaction within the department. Zientek was initially placed on paid leave last week, but as the investigation by an outside law firm expanded, city leaders determined further action was necessary.

Texas Police Officer Charged with Manslaughter After 2 Siblings, Ages 8 and 10, Are Killed in Car Crash
BAYTOWN, Texas – New details have emerged in the deadly crash involving a Baytown police officer that killed two young brothers and injured their mother and sisters.
A Harris County grand jury indicted Baytown police officer Michael Hightower on two counts of manslaughter in the deaths of 10-year-old Jude Russell and 8-year-old Ryver Russell. He also faces one count of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon because their older sister was also seriously injured.
The crash happened on Oct. 23 when Hightower’s patrol car collided with a minivan carrying six members of the family. Initially, investigators believed the crash was a tragic accident. The crash report showed Hightower had the right-of-way at the intersection.
However, investigators later recovered vehicle data revealing Hightower was driving at an extremely high speed. Sources say he was traveling 95mph in a 40mph zone. Court records also show that his emergency lights and sirens were not activated at the time of the crash.

The department is currently under scrutiny in two separate investigations involving employee conduct, one of which includes a captain.
In early June, an officer was caught on cellphone video chasing a group of stray dogs and fatally shooting one.
The officer, who has not been publicly identified, has been placed on paid administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation.
A second internal investigation involves Captain Miller, who is accused of hitting a 12-year-old boy riding an electric scooter.
Officials say the incident occurred on Tuesday, June 3, when Miller, driving an unmarked department vehicle, turned into his subdivision and struck the child.
The boy was injured and taken to a local hospital for treatment. The Fort Bend County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the incident. No additional details have been released.
When asked whether Chief Hines’ resignation was related to the ongoing investigations, Mayor Richards responded, “I’m not at liberty to say.”

The Houston County Sheriff’s Office later connected this case to another investigation in their jurisdiction involving former Houston County officer Skyler Laza, who was arrested on Wednesday on charges of aggravated sexual assault of a child.

Officers with the College Station Police Department arrived to investigate possible “criminal activity”. After talking to the bar management and an employee, they began looking for Oliver, who had generated a bar tab.
Liberty County’s Constable Pct. 4
They learned what he was wearing and that he was with a woman. Eventually, police found him drinking at a booth. When asked if he had a gun on him, he responded by saying, “I’m a cop! I do. I’m a police officer.”
He was told to place his hands behind his back, as he asked not to be handcuffed. Police saw a handgun in his waist and also found a “silver star law enforcement badge” after Oliver told them that he worked in Liberty County Pct. 4.
Police placed him in handcuffs and escorted him back to the stock room, where they removed the gun, which had 15 live rounds in the magazine and one live round in the firing chamber.
They took him outside the bar, where police noticed he was “extremely intoxicated.” Oliver told police he couldn’t remember when he started drinking or how many drinks he had. He then added that a man, who claimed to be in a gang, approached him that night, telling him his gang says he’s an undercover cop, but he wasn’t going to tell them.

Due Process no longer applies in America
Due process of law is the application by the state of all legal rules and principles about a case so all legal rights that are owed to a person are respected. Due process balances the power of the law of the land and protects the person from it. When a government harms a person without following the exact course of the law, this constitutes a due process violation, which offends the rule of law.

Immigration agents told a teenage US citizen: ‘You’ve got no rights.’ He secretly recorded his brutal arrest
Video footage of the incident captured by Laynez-Ambrosio, an 18-year-old US citizen, appears to show a group of officers in tactical gear working together to violently detain the three men, two of whom are undocumented. They seem to use a stun gun on one man, put another in a chokehold and can be heard telling Laynez-Ambrosio: “You’ve got no rights here. You’re a migo, brother.” Afterward, agents can be heard bragging and making light of the arrests, calling the stun gun use “funny” and quipping: “You can smell that … $30,000 bonus.”
“The federal government has imposed quotas for the arrest of immigrants,” said Jack Scarola, an attorney who is advocating on behalf of Laynez-Ambrosio and working with the non-profit Guatemalan-Maya Center, which provided the footage to the Guardian. “Any time law enforcement is compelled to work towards a quota, it poses a significant risk to the people’s rights.”

Bryan – A Fourth of July family celebration in Bryan took a traumatic turn for one local man who says he was tackled and wrongfully detained by police in front of his children.
Marcellious McGee was attending a backyard cookout with family and friends in the 400 block of Legion Court when officers with the Bryan Police Department entered the property looking for someone named “Marquis.” According to McGee and several witnesses, officers ignored pleas from the crowd that they had the wrong person and proceeded to detain him anyway.
“They came to me and I stopped, and I’m looking at the guy like, what’s going on?” McGee recalled. “Because they’re charging at me and I have my hands up. And while I’m looking at the officer head-on, another officer came from behind and football tackled me.”
