Representatives from two organizations advocating for criminal justice reform in Houston will hold a press conference Thursday calling for Harris County Sheriff's Office Ron Hickman to immediately take administrative action against three sheriff’s deputies who forcibly conducted an illegal body cavity search on a woman in Houston. The organizations will also call for Devon Anderson Harris County District Attorney to investigate the allegation and file any necessary criminal charges against the deputies involved.
The Harris County Sheriff’s deputies have been identified as William Strong, Ronaldine Pierre, and R. Rojas. The incident occurred on June 21 in North Harris County when a deputy stopped 21-year-old Charnesia Corley for allegedly running a stop sign. They claimed she smelled of marijuana, and demanded she pull down her pants and spread her legs in a public parking lot, according to reports.
The deputies did not have a warrant, and Corley says she did not consent to the search. The organizations note that the search was a clear violation of her Fourth Amendment rights and a violation of a recently passed Texas law requiring a warrant for such a search.
Stay updated for the Houston NORML press conference coverage tomorrow, calling for justice in Texas!
