Freeing Of Prisoners In Dispute In Baytown
A long running feud between the Texas State Highway Patrol and Justice of the Peace Walter Queen of Precinct 2 Baytown escalated as Capt K B Hallmark charged that Queen released 11 prisoners jailed on misdemeanor charges. The clerk Otis Ewing said the cases were dismissed without bonds on Dec 23 24 25. Hallmark said the dismissals violated patrol procedures and ordered charges to be filed in La Porte Tomball or Houston. The move shifts Baytown arrests away from local court and warns residents they face charges elsewhere.
