Eric Paul Truelson, 53 of Brenham, was indicted for Intoxication Manslaughter with a Vehicle. Truelson was arrested in May of this year on Intoxication Manslaughter charges for an accident that occurred in January of the year before.
Over the years I’ve seen many of the same names in these indictment reports. How many felony indictments, and I’m assuming convictions, does one get before they don’t get out of prison for a very long time? Some of these people are repeat habitual offenders and need to be locked up before they seriously hurt or kill someone. Clearly, any early intervention efforts have been unsuccessful and now we’re dealing with people who have no regard for other people’s life or property.
