Perhaps most famous for being the subject of one of Wayne Dolcefino’s investigations, Jerry Eversole, commissioner of precinct 4 in Harris County, is back in the news. News channels all across Texas reported a story that will cause Eversole to be referred to as “former” County commissioner from now this day forth. Many years ago Eversole was a coach at Liberty High School and his parents lived out there retirement years in Liberty.
At 2 pm today, Harris County Judge Ed Emmett received a resignation letter from the embattled Harris County precinct four commissioner. Eversole has been under an FBI investigation for quite some time. Earlier in the year his trial was declared a mistrial and he now faces a new trial on charges of lying to an FBI investigator. The bribery charges that lead to a previous hung jury were dismissed today. Houston news media is reporting that it is possible that the resignation and new indictments are related in a plea arrangement.
The remaining charge could land Eversole in prison for up to five years although that is probably unlikely according to local news sources. Eversole has reportedly spent over $1 million in legal fees from his campaign funds.

Looks like Eversole will be joining some other Liberty County officials at the prison. I just hope Royce Wheeler is next on the investigation list so he can join his buddies at the prison doors.
I prefer that he join his buddies in the prison showers.
Wasnt Eversole a Liberty County resident?
Yes,Jerry Eversole did live in Liberty in his younger days. I knew his father and he was a good man.
