Deputies accused a Texas sheriff of corruption and dysfunction. Then came the mass shooting

  • Sheriff Greg Capers of San Jacinto County, Texas, faced criticism and an Associated Press investigation revealing corruption and dysfunction within his office.
  • The investigation found that deputies took nearly four times as long as Capers initially claimed to arrive at a mass shooting, and that basic police work was neglected in favor of asset seizures.
  • The sheriff's office settled a whistleblower lawsuit alleging wide-ranging misconduct, and a police consulting firm found evidence of a fear-based culture and failure to follow up on reports of crimes, including sexual abuse.
