Burleson County authorities have released new documents related to the Chester Jackson, Jr. case.
Thursday, officials released copies of the citation, affidavit, and two magistrate admonishment forms for Jackson's public intoxication arrest and detention in the Burleson County Jail in April.
Meanwhile, the Texas Attorney General’s office is being asked to weigh in on the release of other public records.
The documents were requested 40 days ago by Jackson's attorney, U.A. Lewis.
Lewis says there is no case number on the arrest affidavit and it was signed by Burleson County authorities four days after Jackson's April 19 arrest outside his Somerville home.
Lewis says the Caldwell officer suspended in this case, is a former employee of the Washington County Sheriff's Office and was terminated in 2014.
