Investigator Alex Kassem Indicted

It is with great sadness that we must announce that long time county employee Alex Kassem, the investigator responsible for the physical safety of our employees and our office, has been indicted by a U.S. Grand Jury. Acting U.S. Attorney Jennifer Lowery announced the charges and the arrest this morning involving allegations of money laundering and drug possession occurring outside of Waller County.

The D.A.’s office is obviously devastated by these allegations, but we are primarily cognizant of our duty to seek justice on behalf of the citizens of Waller County. Out of an abundance of caution we are taking steps to review any local criminal cases he may have been associated with for veracity and soundness, and so that others that are likewise accused of a criminal offense in Waller County receive fair and constitutional treatment.

Please keep our small office in your thoughts and prayers as we deal with this news of a beloved friend and Waller County peace officer.
