Williamson County judge Timothy Wright indicted on various firearm related charges, false statements

[TexasTowelie]

Between June 1 and Feb. 24 Tim Wright, a county court-at-law judge in Williamson County, sold firearms on three occasions to someone he knew or had reasonable cause to believe was a convicted felon, according to a statement from the U.S. attorney’s office.

Wright also helped the smuggling and attempted smuggling of firearms out of the country, the statement says, and lied to federal agents.

“The indictment of Timothy L. Wright, Williamson County judge, sends a strong message that Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) will not tolerate the unlawful export of firearms, regardless of the smuggler’s position or status,” James Spero, the special agent in charge of HSI in San Antonio, said in a statement.

Wright faces a total of up to 70 years in prison for the charges: Up to 10 years in prison on each of the five firearm charges and up to five years in prison on each of the four counts of making a false statement to a government agent.

1. Good, hope he has some time to serve and maybe one crook is out of circulation.

2. Positions of power corrupt a lot of people. They're crooked before they even get to be judges.

Thanks for the post TexasTowelie.
Am kinda waiting for the Texas gunnutz to defend him somehow.
What a dummy.
