Winkler County Attorney Tidwell Criminal Trial Starts Sept. 12
Winkler County Attorney Scott Tidwell has declined any plea bargain on his 2 third degree felonies for retaliation, 2 third degree felonies for misuse of official information and 2 class A misdemeanors for official oppression. All six charges stem from his involvement in the absurd and inappropriate prosecution of Winkler County Nurses Anne Mitchell and Vickie Galle earlier this year. The two nurses reported Dr. Rolando Arafiles’ shoddy and, well, weird, medical practices at the Winkler County Memorial Hospital to the Texas Medical Board. The doctor cried wee, wee, wee to the county sheriff, his golfing buddy, patient and homeopathic snake oil business partner. For his part, Sheriff Roberts started the investigation of the century in Kermit, Texas and uncovered the anonymous complainers, charged them with felonies and arrested them. Tidwell, not to let an opportunity to ruin his career go by without embracing it in a death grip, sped head-long into a charade of a trial where the lone nurse brought to court, Mitchell, was found not guilty quicker than Dr. Arafiles could prescribe bonga bonga root for a cerebral aneurysm, and felony charges of his own.
Roberts was tried and found guilty of all six charges against him earlier thsi month, stripped of his law enforcement officer certification and position as sheriff, fined $6,000, and sentenced to 100 days in his own jail. Arafiles trial date has yet to be set. If HE is convicted his medical license, already on probation, is in grave jeopardy, as is Tidwell’s law license. Stay tuned.
