ANGELINA COUNTY, Texas (KTRE) - Angelina County Commissioner Bobby Cheshire was indicted today on a third-degree felony charge.
Visiting prosecutor Rob Freyer told KTRE that Cheshire received an indictment of Continuous Family Violence, which could result in a prison sentence of between two and 10 years, as well as a maximum fine of $10,000.
Four additional misdemeanor charges are pending.
According to an arrest affidavit KTRE obtained in August of 2019, Angelina County deputies responded to Cheshire’s home the night of Aug. 20 after a 911 call which investigators say was immediately disconnected. The affidavit states operators called the number back and a woman said everything was “okay for now” but the woman sounded “shaky.” The affidavit states a deputy went to the home and met with the woman, who said everything was OK and she was leaving the home.
