Texas Police Department Disbanded After Jailing Woman for Criticizing Water Quality

Texas police department ordered to close for failing to provide public benefit

A Texas police department was ordered to close after the state found it provided no public benefit. The investigation began when Jennifer Combs was arrested for a Facebook post about bacteria in the water in Trinidad, a town of 860. The department also lacked basic resources like bulletproof vests. Law enforcement duties will transfer to the Henderson County Sheriff's Office.
