Harris County Deputies Raid Wrong House, Traumatizing Children Inside

Houston, Texas

So far this week, the Harris County Sheriff’s Office has been working hard on receiving the Disgraced Texas Badge Award. In just a few hours, one deputy was charged for falsifying a government record and accused of taking payoffs from a sports bar, offering drugs, prostitution and gambling. Another deputy was arrested for sexually molesting a child.

In another public relations nightmare, deputies performed a raid on a house, searching for a suspect. As it turns out, they went to the wrong house, drawing their guns on children inside. Takeeyah Sterling told KPRC-TV her children have been traumatized by the event and she is dissatisfied with the answers she has received from the Sheriff's Office.

"You do no research, no surveillance, you didn't talk to my neighbors before you invaded my privacy, before you come and terrorize my family," said Sterling.

Sterling said she is angry because the deputies left no information at the house after the raid was concluded. Sterling said she had to track down who was part of the raid.

Sterling said she did speak with one of the deputies who was part of the raid and received what she called an insincere apology. Sterling has filed a formal complaint with the Sheriff's Office's Internal Affairs division.

"If I didn't go look for him, it would have just happened and it would have been like nothing ever happened," said Sterling.

The Sheriff’s office continues to justify the actions of the raid team, but say they are investigating.

Harris County Deputy Jimmy George Accused of Falsifying Activity Log and Taking Payoffs

Harris County Deputy Jimmy W. George

Houston, Texas

A Harris County sheriff's douchebag deputy is now pimpin' the county jail attire, while facing charges of tampering with a government record. Investigators say Deputy Jimmy W. George was logging that he went to scenes that he did not go to.

Harris County sheriff's deputies said internal affairs division deputies conducted surveillance on George as he worked his patrol shift in northwest Harris County in December.

Detectives said they discovered that George logged into his mobile data terminal and claimed he was responding to a traffic call, but he never went to the scene.

He's also being investigated for providing protection to a local sports bar called "Craigers," recently raided by police who discovered drugs, illegal gambling and prostitution. Investigators say George was allegedly taking payoffs from the club to keep law enforcement away.They say that could be one reason Craigers was allegedly able to operate illegally for several years.

"My deputies are tasked with enforcing the law. That's what I expect from them, that's what the public expects from them," said Sheriff Adrian Garcia. "They are not above the law. Those who think they are have another thing coming because we will continue to police our own and clean house as necessary."

George's employment has been terminated. He had been with the department since December 1996.

Patton Village Scandal Revealed: Mayor, Other City Officials and Police Officers Indicted

Patton Village, Texas

A big ol’ scandal has been busted-up down in Texas, leaving a number of city officials and police officers facing indictments.

Patton Village, often called the worst speed-trap in Texas, is now known for something else. Many in town stopped to watch Friday’s news footage of Mayor Pamela “Vikki” Munoz and others being led out of city hall in handcuffs.

Also indicted Friday were Patton Village city secretary Georgia Simons, court clerk Patricia Edmondson and Patton Village police officers Kenneth McLin, Michael Seymour, William Martin and Deangelo Lavergne.

According to the indictment, the city officials used their official capactiy to access information, services and city funds.

Mayor Pamela Munoz was taken out in handcuffs Friday afternoon after a grand jury indictment. She now faces nine felonies and one misdemeanor charge, all based on allegations she misused city funds for her personal gain.

The investigation started last October. Federal and state officials carted out computers and boxes of files. According to the indictment, Munoz misused tens of thousands of dollars, including allegations she used city sewer funds for herself, other city money for her own dumpster service and even took a loan out using three police cars as collateral.

The city's police officers who were indicted ran illegal background checks, according to the court records. The other officials moved money around as needed; some of it was paid back, some wasn't.

The Storm Ends In Disgrace for Dallas Police Officer Stormy Mageira

Dallas, Texas

For Dallas Police Sergeant Stormy Mageira, the winds just keep picking-up, leaving her under a storm of shit. She’s been good at getting headlines, but not the type that are in her favor.

You may recall her name in the press last month, when she was placed on administrative leave because of a report she made. Mageira claimed she was carjacked in northeast Dallas and lost her service weapon as a result.

Dallas police initially opened-up a robbery investigation, but soon began to wonder if Magiera filed a false report.

A Dallas police officer since 2000, Mageira didn’t win over many friends when she filed a sexual harassment complaint five years after joining the department. Earlier this month, she was arrested on a family violence assault charge. In the latest incident, Magiera reportedly had an altercation with her husband, fellow Dallas Police Lt. Mike Magiera, at their home in Murphy. Internal Affairs got involved and concluded:

"The Internal Affairs Division's investigation determined that Sergeant Magiera escalated the disturbance and caused injury to a family member."

If it seems like things just couldn’t get any worse, on February 8, an official posting on the Dallas Police Department’s Facebook page advised:

"As of today, Stormy Magiera is no longer a Dallas Police officer."
