Rockwall DA indicted for abuse of funds

The following is based on the criminal complaint accusing Rockwall County District Attorney Galen Ray Sumrow of abuse of official capacity:

Jan. 6, 2003: The Texas comptroller's office, which reimburses the district attorney's office for some of its expenses, receives a written authorization to deposit the money directly into what turns out to be Mr. Sumrow's personal checking account. Mr. Sumrow later tells an investigator he did nothing to divert state money into the account. However, according to the investigator, the authorization is signed "G.R. Sumrow," bears his nine-digit checking account number and his Social Security number, and is identified as a "new setup" transaction.

Nov. 12, 2003: The state deposits $34,350 into the account.

Dec. 4, 2003: The state deposits $11,210 into the account.

Late April or May 2004: County Auditor John Blackwood asks County Treasurer Shereé Jones about overdue payments from the state. She goes to Mr. Sumrow, who says he doesn't have the checks.

June 17, 2004: The state deposits $22,420 into Mr. Sumrow's account, bringing the total to $67,980.

Late June 2004: The Texas comptroller's office tells Ms. Jones that the money was deposited into the account. Mr. Sumrow says he will look into it.

July 1, 2004: Mr. Sumrow repays $34,350.

July 15, 2004: Mr. Sumrow repays $22,420. Ms. Jones tells him $11,210 more is owed.

July to late September 2004: Ms. Jones repeatedly asks Mr. Sumrow about the remaining money.

Dec. 7, 2004: Mr. Sumrow repays the last of the money.

Late October/early November 2006: The Texas Rangers and the FBI join the Sheriff's Department investigation.

Nov. 15, 2006: Investigators interview Ms. Jones.

Feb. 7: Investigators interview Mr. Sumrow.

Feb. 26: An arrest warrant is issued for Mr. Sumrow.

Tuesday: A Travis County grand jury indicts Mr. Sumrow. One of his attorneys, Buck Wood, acknowledges that Mr. Sumrow filled out the deposit authorization but indicates that he did so in error, that he didn't realize the money had gone into his account, and that he had no intent to misuse it.

[Faux pas]

1. Yes, we are all as stupid as they think we are.

Just another spin on the 'I don't recall' defense.

2. So he doesn't look at the statements that come from the bank?

Looks to me like he did rather well for himself...well at least until he got caught...:)

I know bush isn't a real Texan, but it seems to me there is a mountain of evidence from TX that shows the extent of corruption tied someway to R's and some of it goes right up to bush.
