PCS Bail Bonds - A Tarrant County Bail Bond Agent Holding Police Accountable

Holding Police Accountable
Being bail bonds agents here in Tarrant County, PCS Bail Bonds holds itself to a higher
standard of behavior and responsibility because we know we represent the law of our nation.
Police officers are held at an even higher standard because they are here not just to represent the
law, but to uphold the laws by which we all abide.
So on Thursday, October 30, when a Tarrant County jury began deliberation of former Police
Sergeant Antoine Jevon Williams for taking athletic shoes and a video game from the home of an
accused drug dealer, it brings up questions of responsibility and accountability within the police
force.
Current Police Sergeant Kevin Fitchett testified that
officers often take items from crime scenes without
immediately logging them into evidence. He says
those instances should be an internal matter, but
officers should not be charged criminally for their
mistake. Sergeant Fitchett also admitted officers took
things from drug dealers they call “props” so they can
better acclimate with the lifestyle of the criminals.
We at PCS Bail Bonds understand our role as bail
bonds agents in Tarrant County, but we can’t
understand the pressures police officers endure being
on the streets every day, putting their lives on the line
to protect us from harm. And we are certainly
empathetic to the struggles of having to invade the
homes of drug dealers and other criminals and the dangers that come with that.
However, because of their position and the responsibilities they carry, officers are leaders. We
believe they are and should be held responsible for all of their actions, both on the job and off,
because the law is their life. The items taken by the former the sergeant seem minor, but the
principle of the case is why it is currently in Tarrant County court.
Williams could possibly pay up to $10,000 in fines, as well as up to two years jail time because
of his position as a public servant.
