Charges against Woodlands attorney dismissed in egg incident with Montgomery County judge

Criminal mischief charges filed against The Woodlands-based attorney Eric Yollick for egging Montgomery County Judge Mark Keough’s Lexus SUV in March have been dismissed.

Yollick, who lost his bid for the bench of the new 457th state District Court in Tuesday’s Republican primary runoff, entered a plea of no contest Friday and paid a $231 fine for the misdemeanor charge.

But for Yollick, the incident was symbolic in protecting first amendment rights and added his actions have kept Keough from imposing “unconstitutional” mandates on residents.

“The whole point of the egg was to make Mark Keough realize how terribly he had violated the constitution and how much he was harming people,” Yollick said, while noting a jump in suicides, fear among residents and an increase in unemployment during the stay-at-home order Keough issued March 27, the morning of the egg incident. “It was terrible and Mark knew he violated the constitution. I am very happy Mark has changed his tune and is now against these mandates and shutdowns and I do not regret in the least what I did even though I know it is the reason I lost the election.

Once George Mitchell passed away, it's been downhill for that community.

He's got a reputation all over the state.

He's a nasty, fouled mouth, Rush Limbaugh type guy
