South Texas police chief arrested on 14 felony charges
A South Texas police chief has been indicted on 14 felony charges, months after being charged with official oppression.
John Chambers, Indian Lake Police Department chief, is charged with 14 counts of tampering with governmental records, according to a news release from the Cameron County District Attorney's Office.
An indictment unsealed Wednesday alleges that Chambers knowingly made a false entry in a governmental record regarding firearms qualifications for some of his deputies.
Chambers was arrested Wednesday by investigators with the district attorney's office and Texas Commission on Law Enforcement, who each jointly conducted an investigation with the Texas Rangers.
The police chief was previously indicted on felony charges in August after he allegedly traveled outside of his jurisdiction to retrieve a truck for his wife's security company when a fired employee failed to return it, KGBT reported.
