Charges of tampering with a government record and official oppression (2 counts) against suspended Brownwood Police officer Lt. Randall Krpoun were dropped on Friday in 35th District Court. Brownwood Police Chief Mike Corley said that Special Prosecutor Rudy Taylor filed motions in court today requesting the charges be dropped which prompted a court order by Judge Stephen Ellis clearing Krpoun of all charges.
A mistrial was declared in March of 2010 when Krpoun was on trial for the two charges of official oppression after an incident at a local bar and grill in October 3, 2008. Krpoun was suspended from the police force without pay when he was indicted on the charges.
Chief Corley said on Friday afternoon that no decision had been made regarding Krpoun’s status on the force pending official notification to the chief from the court.
