Brandon Herring, 33, of Vidor, was indicted by the Jefferson County Grand Jury on Wednesday for an incident that occurred in September 2019 in Beaumont. 

Beaumont police officers were dispatched to Taco Bell at 6365 Phelan in Beaumont in reference to a disturbance when a man broke the drive-thru window and ran off the property. 

Herring was located in front of Fast Eddies, according to an affidavit for probable cause. The officer noted Herring appeared to be intoxicated and was placed under arrest for public intoxication.

While he was being transported to jail, Herring threaten the officer by saying he would assault him when they arrived at the jail. 

He also told the officer, “What is your address, going to burn it to the ground.”

An indictment is not be considered as evidence of guilt and that all persons charged with a crime are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
