Corruption Conviction
On June 13th the Fort Worth Star-Telegram runs an article about a Parker County purchasing agent who has committed suicide rather than face trial on corruption charges. The tie-in to that article came on June 29th, 2005 when the Fort Worth Star-Telegram ran an article about Former Sheriff Jay Brown being convicted of abuse of office. He pocketed more than $10,000 in profits on equipment sales. This is the sheriff we met with that promised us patrols, help for the crime, and a liaison that never spoke with us. The purchasing agent who helped Sheriff Brown steal money is dead. The Sheriff gets a slap on the wrist sentence from Judge Mark Riley, who is his friend. Judge Choate is also a friend of Sheriff Brown. She is the judge who issued the PC Arrest Warrant against Robert in November 2004. The articles put them all in bed together. The conspiracy and corruption grows larger and spreads further. You’ll find nothing on the Parker County web site about the arrest and conviction of Sheriff Brown. No record of the trial, no case numbers, and no mug shots. There is simply nothing in the public files on Sheriff Brown. However those records haunt every other person arrested by the PCSO. If you didn’t catch the newspaper article in Fort Worth (the next county over) you would not know the former sheriff was guilty of abusing you and his office. Very discriminatory, wouldn’t you say?

Situation #7 – Robert and I meet with Assistant DA Swaim and another DA from Juvenile. We present the DA a pile of evidence, the diaries of the crimes we witnessed, and license plate numbers on the mule’s vehicles. We inform the DA how Roger brags about being protected by the law and gets advance notice of raids on his property. We explain how the whole Salter family cleans out the contraband in 20 minutes flat. The Salter family (Grandma, Tiffany, Matthew, brothers, and others) come scurrying in like roaches from the surrounding towns and disappears down the road with all the “evidence” in only 15 or 20 minutes flat. NASCAR Pit Crews couldn’t be faster at their task. DA Swaim congratulated me on how I had recorded the Salter Family “MO” (method of operation). He said I had the MO completely correct. However, Swaim said nothing I gave him was “actionable” for him to make an arrest. If I wanted to do his job of investigating, then he would reconsider charges on the Salters. Here is a very important point. The Assistant DA has given me kudos for knowing the Salter family operation for getting the evidence out of sight. Remember that.
