Today, County Attorney Wes Hinch issued the following statement.

On October 29, 2009, Glen Wheeler Vickery entered a plea of “no contest” to the class “A” misdemeanor charge of Deadly Conduct. Judge Patrice McDonald, a visiting judge, presided over the Liberty County Court at Law.

The case was scheduled for a jury trial on Monday, November 2. On late Wednesday, October 28, 2009, Judge McDonald scheduled the special hearing to ensure that the plea was finalized before cancelling the jury.
