(June 23, 2020): The Nacogdoches Police Department has received multiple inquiries regarding an incident occurring at a protest on June 6 at the Nacogdoches County Courthouse. In a statement issued by our office on June 10, we committed to releasing a follow-up to the media and the public once determinations regarding appropriate action were made by the County Attorney’s Office. The practice of deferring to the prosecutor’s office is best-practice in instances such as this. When there are multiple perspectives to an incident, the facts are gathered and presented to the appropriate prosecutorial office. This practice becomes especially true when citizens across the community have expressed valid concerns surrounding an event.
We received an update from the Nacogdoches County Attorney’s Office containing the outcome of this investigation. We are honoring our commitment to the public, by releasing a video of the incident along with a complete statement from the prosecutor’s office.
