The latest salvo in a years-old dispute between Hays County Pct. 3 Constable Ray Helm and his former employee Gary Griffin came last week when two Central Texas district attorneys declined to prosecute Griffin on charges he was arrested on in January.
Helm had sought the warrants, which were signed in January by 453rd District Court Judge David Junkin. Junkin was appointed to his position in November 2018 by Governor Greg Abbott.
They had accused Griffin, who served more than 20 years as a constable in Williamson County, with misuse of official information, which is a 3rd degree felony, as well as tampering with governmental records, a state jail felony, abuse of official capacity, a Class A Misdemeanor and two counts of theft by a public servant, both Class B Misdemeanors.
