Houston Police Suspended Case News

SL Code,Lack Of Staff,Misdemeanor Assault Charge

13 Investigates now knows at least 50 suspects were charged as police revisit these cases, including a misdemeanor assault charge against Turkey Leg Hut co-founder Lyndell Price from an incident earlier this year.

Sources tell 13 Investigates that the Houston Police Department's Internal Affairs Division is recommending two current and four former officers be reprimanded for the use of a "suspended - lack of personnel" code.

"This includes taking additional investigative steps, such as collecting statements and re-interviewing when necessary. This is how the process is intended to work," according to the HPD statement. Antonio Jackson said in late January he was having drinks at the Tipsy Lounge with two potential business associates, when all of a sudden he found himself in the middle of a bar brawl.

A few weeks after the incident, HPD Chief Troy Finner ordered the suspended code to never be used again and for all 260,000-plus incident reports marked with it to be reviewed.Price and his attorney have yet to comment after we reached out. During the incident, there were "bullets striking one male" as well as multiple vehicles and residences hit, all while "10 children were present," according to court documents.

Since Chief Finner announced cases were suspended due to lack of staff, the Houston Police Officers' Union has been critical of HPD's Internal Affairs investigation into the code and says an outside agency should be doing that work.
