Sr. Police Officer William “Bill” Jeffrey, an officer for thirty years met his tragic end of watch at the hands of Deon Ledet, a known drug dealer with prior convictions for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and possession with intent to distribute. In the shootout that killed Sr. Officer Jeffrey, Ledet also shot Sgt. Michael Vance multiple times. Vance is expected to recover, but it may take months. Ledet was killed when officers Jeffrey and Vance returned fire.
The Shooting of Two Police Officers That A Judge Could’ve Prevented
Since the tragic, and extremely avoidable shooting Judge Greg Glass has faced massive condemnation and scrutiny following his as yet unexplained decision to significantly reduce Ledet’s bond, facilitating his release. Reports have revealed that Ledet, described as a serial offender with a history that includes aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, burglary, evading arrest, and most recently, felony possession. Officers Jeffrey and Vance were attempting to arrest Ledet on a “high-level narcotics charge” when he opened fire on them. He had been arrested no less than eighteen times! How did he wind up back on the streets?!?
According to Click2Houston,
“The Harris County District Attorney’s office tells KPRC 2 that Magistrate Lionel Castro set bond amounts for Ledet at $20,000 and $40,000 on Nov. 17, 2020. The next day, on Nov. 18, the District Attorney’s office asked for the bond to be denied because Ledet had two felony convictions. Instead, the DA’s office said Judge Greg Glass of the 208th District Court lowered the bond amounts to $10,000 and $20,000.”
“He needs to have the integrity to step down,” said HPOU President Doug Griffith. “Until he decides to step up and explain himself, we will continue to come after him. I will actively search for people who will run against him.”
“He needs to be out in the forefront explaining himself as to why he did what he did,” Griffith continued. “It’s sick to see this happen over and over again, and Judge Glass, you have some explaining to do.”
Judge Glass won his re-election against Republican Denise Collins by a margin of 9 points in 2018 and his current term ends in 2022.
