Judge Moves West Texas Sheriff's Felony Trial

Kermit, Texas

A court clerk says a judge has ruled to move the felony trial of a longtime West Texas sheriff accused of retaliating against two whistle-blowing nurses.

Winkler County district clerk Sherry Terry said Thursday that Judge Robert H. Moore ruled on the prosecution's motion that said the trial should be moved because of "a combination and influence in favor" of Sheriff Robert Roberts.

The trial is set for June 6 will be held in Midland, in a nearby county about 65 miles west of Kermit.

Roberts faces felony charges including misuse of information and retaliation stemming from the prosecution of two nurses fired from a hospital in 2009.

The nurses were prosecuted after complaining anonymously to state regulators about Dr. Rolando Arafiles.
