Brookshire, Texas
A Brookshire police officer is without his usual job and facing charges, following accusations that he stole from a citizen while on duty.
According to a press release from the Waller County Sheriff’s Office, Officer Charles Jerome Cole was arrested and served with two grand jury indictments on Saturday.
The charges included Official Oppression (a misdemeanor) and Theft from Person (state jail felony). The press release did not offer details into what took place, saying only that Cole is accused of committing the crimes about three months ago.
The charges surfaced, following an investigation led by the county district attorney’s office, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Texas Rangers, Waller County Sheriff’s Office, and the Brookshire Police Department.
