The Austin County SRT is made up of officers from the Austin County Sheriff’s Office, Bellville Police, Sealy Police, Wallis Police and Pct. 2 Constable. Austin County Sheriff Jack Brandes said that more arrests may be forthcoming as the investigation continues.
They need them to bond out so they can sign up for confedential informant patrol..its rediculous…..but thats what one must assume when you see that..its a never ending game played by the “big boys”, (feds) …..and even if its the sherrif s office theyll be working under auspices of federal agents visa vie dual credentialing…and what ultimately ends up happening is the subject goes back to selling dope, and the public suffers on! We need to just start dropping the hammer on these people and stop this rediculous game.
Why bother with further arrests if they just bond out so easily? The bond amounts must be higher!!!!
