TRINIDAD, Texas (KETK) – The Henderson County District Attorney's Office has announced that they're no longer taking case from the Trinidad Police Department.

This decision comes as the Trinidad Police Department is undergoing an audit from the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement (TCOLE), the state agency that regulates law enforcement agencies and licenses officers.
The district attorney's office has issued a letter stating that, as of Monday, they will no longer prosecute cases that are solely investigated or filed by the Trinity Police Department. This decision effectively prevents any state criminal charges stemming from arrests made by Trinity PD from being prosecuted.
The DA's office letter noted that the Henderson County Sheriff's Office has agreed to cover any crimes that happen within the City of Trinity.
In June, Henderson County's 392nd Judicial District Court Judge R. Scott McKee sent a letter to former Trinidad Police Chief Charles Gregory warning him about officers withholding information from the court.
Gregory resigned from his position as Trinidad Police Chief around the same time as McKee sent his letter in June.
KETK News has contacted the Henderson County Sheriff's Office and TCOLE for more information about these developments.
