The Brazos County district attorney’s office is investigating why it took more than 13 years to serve an arrest warrant on a west Texas man accused of violating probation.
60 year old Jesse Hughes of Midland pleaded guilty to his third DWI in February 2002 and placed on probation.
Hughes was charged with violating probation in February 2010 for among other things, failing to report to his probation officer, failing to pay fines and fees, and failing to perform 160 hours of community service.
Hughes was not arrested until September of 2023. Then he was released from jail on bond.
Hughes returned to district court in October 2024 where he admitted to violating probation.
Then he was released again from jail until he returned last Thursday (December 5) to await a transfer to prison to serve a two year sentence with credit for time served.
