FUNERAL SERVICES FOR WALLER CO. SHERIFF WILL BE WEDNESDAY

  

Funeral services will be held Wednesday for long-time Waller County Sheriff Glenn Smith, who died unexpectedly, Saturday, following a heart attack.

Smith was pronounced dead at a Bellville hospital Saturday afternoon.

The services will be held this Wednesday, at 11 a.m., at the Community of Faith Church in Houston, followed by a private ceremony, Thursday, at the Hemphill Cemetery in Hemphill.

Smith was with the Waller County Sheriff's Department for nearly 12 years, and was in his third term as a sheriff.  He was a veteran law enforcement officer for more than 40 years.

Smith lost his bid for re-election in a July runoff against former Harris County deputy Troy Guidry.  Guidry will face Cedric Watson in November.

Waller County Judge Trey Duhon has ordered flags to be flown at half-staff for 30 days in Smith’s honor.
