13. I have voted against Bill Waybourn every time I see his name

Wednesday

He started out in Arlington, TX.

In his 31 years as Chief of Dalworthington Gardens, he has testified on numerous cases as an expert witness, pioneered the Texas model for DWI “No Refusal” program—which has been credited with lowering the fatality and DWI rate and is now being used as the model for several surroundings states; testified before the state legislature on a diverse array of issues relating to the Second Amendment and civilians carrying firearms.

He worked with the state legislature on Texas’ original concealed handgun license laws in the 1990s, as well as the most recent open carry law that passed in 2015. Bill is also extremely honored to have helped the Chris Kyle Bill become a law in Texas—a bill that streamlines the process for military service men and women to become police officers.



The adopted son of Tarrant County Sheriff Bill E. Waybourn was arrested Monday for allegedly soliciting an underage girl and assaulting and injuring a police officer who was trying to arrest him, according to the Arlington Police Department.

William Waybourn, 20, was taken into custody and booked into Arlington City Jail on charges of solicitation of a person under 18, resisting arrest, and assault on a peace officer, police said. He posted bond Tuesday morning.

Officers responded to a business in the 100 block of South Bowen Road around 4:45 p.m. Monday after a 911 caller reported that a juvenile girl said an unknown man had made sexually explicit comments to her and had been following her. When officers arrived and found a man matching the description nearby, he resisted arrest as they tried to put him in a police vehicle. This led to a scuffle that resulted in an officer's arm being injured, police said.

"The sheriff is disappointed in the choices his son made but has taught his children there are consequences to those actions," the Tarrant County Sheriff's Office said in a statement.

William Waybourn is one of eight adopted children, all of whom came from orphanages or abusive environments, according to the sheriff's office.

Oopsie daddy Bill, looks as though you need to spend more time praying because your own son appears to be a troubled soul. Perhaps being raised by you is the cause of his drunkenness and showing off his junk.

And that pic in the OP is not a current pic. William's mugshot is at the link.
