Jefferson Co. DA expects Beaumont ISD indictments next week
Jefferson County District Attorney Cory Crenshaw told members of Beaumont's Rotary Club this afternoon that he expects indictments involving fraud at Beaumont ISD to be handed down next week.
Crenshaw started a Beaumont ISD hotline earlier this year for people to report any crimes they observed happening in the district.
The district attorney said two grand juries have been investigating evidence, including a special grand jury impaneled by Judge John Stevens in May to focus solely on the school district. The special grand jury will serve through November, three months longer than a regular grand jury.
Crenshaw would not specify which grand jury would pass down indictments next week or the nature of the indictments. He did say that believed fraud at BISD goes back at least seven years based on his office's investigation.
