A Brazos County district court jury takes seven minutes to find a Bryan man guilty of shooting and wounding a Bryan policeman in December 2022.

Then the jury takes less than one hour to reach punishment of life in prison.

46 year old Joshua Herrin was convicted of aggravated assault against a public servant, when he fired at the officer while running away from a traffic stop in the area of Wayside Drive and Avondale Avenue.

The officer did not return fire.

Herrin drove away in the officer’s patrol vehicle then abandoned it.

The following day, Herrin shot and wounded a Brazos County sheriff’s deputy in the Benchley area. Herrin, who was captured following a standoff, faces a trial in Robertson County related to that incident. That trial will be prosecuted by the Brazos County district attorney’s office.

Herrin remains in the Brazos County jail as of November 5th in lieu of bonds totaling $5.7 million dollars.
