West Texas sheriff convicted of retaliation against nurses who blew the whistle on a doctor

Posted on June 15, 2011 by Dissent

David Lee reports:

West Texas sheriff was convicted Tuesday of retaliating against two nurses who complained to the state medical board about a doctor they worked with, who was the sheriff’s friend.

Winkler County Sheriff Robert Roberts, 56, was convicted in Midland State Court of retaliation and misuse of official information, both felonies, and official oppression, a misdemeanor.

In an agreement reached with prosecutors at the close of the punishment phase of his trial, Roberts was sentenced to 4 years of felony probation and 100 days in jail on the official information and retaliation charges, and fined $6,000.

A 20-year veteran as sheriff, Roberts will be removed from office and surrender his peace officer’s license.
