ECISD to shift sexual assault investigations to OPD
ECISD Police Chief Henry Jackson announced the district will defer sexual assault cases to the Odessa Police Department citing media pressure and greater OPD manpower. The policy took effect after a December 14 case at Ector High School Field House, where a 13 year old girl alleged indecency by a 13 year old boy who was later arrested. Jackson awaits rape kit results from a Texas DPS lab in Lubbock. Wendell Sollis backs the move citing an inter local agreement with OPD.
