| Sgt. OJ Latin HPD |
Fox 26 news has learned a Houston Police officer who was suspended after allegations of groping and fondling a female suspect will not face any criminal charges.
Sources tell us a Harris County Grand Jury refused to indict Sargent Otha Joe Latin this morning.
Latin was relieved of duty earlier this month after that female DWI suspected claimed the veteran officer inappropriately touched her and sent her sexually explicit text messages.
Officials at the Houston Police Officers' Union confirm Latin was no billed by the grand jury. However, HPOU President Gary Blankinship said he was not going to comment on the case until after the internal affairs probe at HPD has been completed.
Latin himself has always maintained his innocence saying to us earlier this month - "I did not do it and there are two sides to every story."
We are hoping to reach the female suspect in this case who's still facing the driving while intoxicated charge.
great story Mr. Carey
ReplyDeleteGreat story Isiah. You are a true reporter.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to see a reporter print a story after an officer has been accused showing a balanced unbiased report.

ReplyDeleteI am a private citizen who has encountered this officer nearly 100 times over the past 8 years or more. He is not a friend and I have no conflict of interest in supporting him. He is one of the most professional and courteous officers in southeast Texas, and I have met about 4,000 of them in my line of work. He has a positive aurora about him that some would recognize as charm and others would mistake for being excessively nice.
