Ex-Houston Officer Now in Trouble with the Law Himself

Houston Criminal Defense Lawyer — Fri, 11 May 2012 21:54:00 GMT

A former police officer of the Houston, Texas area is now on trial himself, attempting to avoid conviction for the criminal accusations that have been made against him. Mr. A. Bloomberg has been accused of physically mistreating the suspect of a burglary crime in 2010, during which time he was seen on security camera arresting the suspect, C. Holley.

Earlier today, Bloomberg appeared in court before a judge and jury, testifying that he is not guilty of the accusations that have been made against him; in particular he avowed that he never kicked the teenaged boy's head or neck. Instead, he claims to have only used his foot as a way to secure the boy's arm as he attempted to detain the suspect.

The 29-year-old ex-officer is one of four who have been associated with this crime. Bloomberg is the first of these men to stand trial for his role in the alleged incident. He is currently facing oppression and misdemeanor charges that could land him in jail for up to a year. Although he has vehemently protested his charges, footage from the security camera appears to show Holley being kicked in the head, abdomen and neck by officers on the scene.

The case is still one of allegation and nothing more. However, Bloomberg and his fellow officers stand to be convicted if they are not adequately represented by a sound criminal defense lawyer in Houston.

Texas Most Wanted Fugitives: Tips now Submitted on Facebook

Houston Criminal Defense Attorney — Fri, 16 Mar 2012 18:00:00 GMT

Tips regarding the Texas Top 10 Most Wanted Fugitives and Sex Offenders can now be submitted through the widely popular social networking tool, Facebook. According to the Texas Department of Public Safety (TDPS), this new option for reporting tips will reach a completely new demographic audience, one who uses the Internet for a large percentage of their communication and interaction.

The Director of the TDPS is hoping that Facebook will help generate additional tips and make the process more convenient for the tipsters as well. The organization is determined to use traditional methods and innovative means to put dangerous criminals behind bars before "they have a chance to hurt anyone else". They are targeting sex offenders and dangerous gang members, and the Governor's Criminal Justice Division offers cash rewards as high as $20,000 dollars for the current fugitives.

In order for someone to submit a Facebook tip or to view the pictures of the wanted fugitives, they can visit www.facebook.com/texas10mostwanted to provide anonymous information. However, police and law enforcement agents will need to be discerning with the information that they receive through this new medium. In some cases, individuals may end up being accused of a crime or arrested for something they did not actually do.
