BRENHAM MAIFEST KING AMONG TWO ARRESTED IN AGGRAVATED ASSAULT INVESTIGATION

  

Two people, including a member of the most recent Brenham Maifest court, have been arrested by the Washington County Sheriff’s Office following a monthslong investigation into assault allegations.

According to a release from the sheriff’s office, deputies responded on Friday, March 29^th just before 9:30 p.m. to a disturbance on Schlottmann Road.  Deputies met with the victim, who had sustained numerous facial injuries requiring medical attention.

Investigators interviewed the parties involved and took photos of the scene.  After further investigation, the case was submitted to the Washington County District Attorney’s Office for review.

Today (Wednesday), deputies arrested 19-year-old Lucas Cash Flynn and 18-year-old Reece Allen Wittu on felony warrants issued by the 21^st District Court.  Both have been charged with Aggravated Assault.  According to the sheriff’s office, their bonds were listed at $25,000 each.

Washington County First Assistant District Attorney Derek Estep confirmed that Flynn and Wittu were indicted during the last grand jury session on July 16^th.  Only the names of those who have been arrested are released in indictment reports.

Flynn was the 2024 Senior Maifest King.  A statement from Maifest Association President Catherine Kenjura reads, “Brenham Maifest is sad and disappointed to learn this.  The Maifest Association does not condone violence of any kind, and we have a policy in place that specifically addresses criminal behavior.  Our executive committee will meet soon to discuss his future with Maifest.”
