Sheriff to serve 100 days, lose license for retaliating against nurses - Mywesttexas.com: Top Stories

Winkler County Sheriff Roberts L. Roberts will serve 100 days in jail and lose his Texas Peace Officers License for retaliating against two whistleblower nurses, a judge order Tuesday.

Visiting Judge Robert Moore handed out the punishment in a Midland County court Tuesday afternoon after the sheriff was found guilty of six charges in the case: two third-degree felony counts of retaliation, two third-degree felony counts of misuse of official information, and two class A misdemeanor counts of official suppression.

Roberts faced up to 10 years in prison on the charges. Moore however sentenced the sheriff to four years in prison, which  were suspended for four years of probation; 100 days in Winkler County jail, which the sheriff will serve; a $1,000 fine for each charge ($6,000 total); a removal from office as sheriff; a waive of his right to an appeal; and a permanent surrender of his Texas Peace Officers License.
