HOUSTON – A former Houston police officer has pleaded guilty to federal charges in connection with a 2019 drug raid that killed both homeowners.
Steven Bryant admitted in his guilty plea Tuesday that he lied and obstructed the resulting investigation in the raid, the Houston Chronicle reported.
His plea was the first time a law enforcement officer connected to the raid has pleaded guilty or been convicted.
Bryant was charged last August with tampering with a government record. He was accused of providing false information in a report after the raid that supported the story of his partner, Gerald Goines, about a confidential informant.
