Police arrest three burglary suspects

Denton police have arrested three people that have been suspected to be involved in two different theft cases.

In the first case, police responded to a robbery that was in progress at the time. They arrested a man that was carrying out a 40 inch T.V. while a partner drove the vehicle.

After arrested, the man told police that they bought a television earlier in the day, then went back into the store and stole an identical television and showed the receipt from earlier in the day when leaving the store.

The man said that his partner convinced him to do it because he claimed that he had done it multiple times before. Police arrested the man on a theft charge. The partner was later found on Interstate 35 and arrested. The third arrest was a man that was suspected of car theft.

Charges of domestic violence dropped against Dallas police officer

A 34-year-old Dallas Police officer has had charges of domestic violence dropped against him after the alleged victim retracted the claims through a written report.

The arrest occurred late on a Saturday night at an apartment complex when the victim claimed that the 11-year police veteran choked her.

The following Monday, the woman retracted the statement and because there were no witnesses, the charges were dropped. An investigation into the incident is currently underway and the officer has been placed on administrative leave as a result of this.

DNA evidence clears man of sexual assault charge after 26 years in prison

New DNA evidence has cleared a Dallas man of sexual assault charges after he spent 26 years in prison.

The man was convicted in 1987 of aggravated sexual assault when he was picked out of a lineup by two teenagers as the man responsible for tying them up and raping them at gunpoint.

Dallas County has exonerated 22 people, more than any other county because they save more evidence. Legislation in Austin right now is working to fix these issues so that no one else is wrongly accused. One way to do this is to reform eye-witness identification.

If you or a loved one has been charged with a serious crime, these charges could change your life. Contact the Dallas rape and sexual assault defense lawyers of the law office of Mark T. Lassiter by calling 214-845-7007 today.

Many DWI bills still in committees, may not make it to laws

Before the 82nd legislative session multiple bills were filed by Republicans and Democrats to make punishments on driving while intoxicated much tougher, but with the session coming to a close it is thought that many of these bills will not become laws this year.

With only three weeks left in the session, many bills are still in committees and if they are not in the House or Senate by the end of the week, they will be dead. One representative is still hopeful that her bill will pass. The House Bill 3477 states that a driver that is convicted of a DWI five times, they will have their license suspended for 10 years.
