Here’s the Grand Jury letter I sent the Grand Jury Foreperson three weeks ago. You realize your Sheriff did this and more and you need to realize something else, your District Attorney Josh Tetens has been compromised by the Sheriff, just like he does all young people who make the mistake of looking up to him.
Grand Jury Foreperson% John Gimble
501 Washington Ave
Suite 300 Courthouse Annex
Waco, TX 76701
Dear Bernadette,
I am writing you in your capacity as the Grand Jury Foreperson, to inform you of a crime that your DA, Josh Tetens, has refused to investigate, or take to a Grand Jury.
A seated Grand Jury is the epitome of power in the County. It is a group of citizens coming together and creating a community together to act or not act regarding crimes and allegations.
Since Tetens will not go forward with this, I am asking this Grand Jury and you as the Foreperson to consider what I will lay out for you below.
On February the sixth of this year, Ex Sheriff’s Deputy Captain Sherry Beard was asked to join a group of ex deputies at the Slow Rise Pizza for a meeting.
This meeting consisted of ex Captain Chris Eubank, his wife, ex Captain Rebecca Eubank, ex Major Pam Whitlock, ex Chief Deputy David Kilcrease, ex CID Deputy Johnathan Crawley, his wife Courtney Crawley, and Sherry Beard.
At this meeting they asked Sherry Beard to help them find an attorney as they wanted to sue the county for various reasons.
David Kilcrease, the ex ChIEF DEPUTY told the group about how Parnell McNamara asked him (Kilcrease) to “loan” him $5K cash to repay a loan that Parnell had gotten from Sherry Johnston, who, at that time was not in prison as she is now. Kilcrease relayed that he gave Parnell the monies to pay back Sherry and gave our Sheriff a lecture in not borrowing money from his girlfriend.
The main crux of the meeting was Johnathan Crawley.Crawley, who is also the nephew of Chris Eubank, is a young man who was hired as a deputy and worked, on paper at CID.
In reality, Crawley never went to the Sheriff’s office, instead, he worked for THREE YEARS gardening, landscaping, and heavy chainsaw work at the old McNamara Home place, getting the “pad” ready for McNamara’s recent new Barndominium. Crawley was paid, by the County 150K over that three year span, he was NEVER paid one cent by McNamara and this is a felony.
Crawley has texts, films, and medical records as evidence of this. Crawley was injured by flying wood chips, one lodged in his eye. He also fell and tore a rotator cuff. He went to the Dr. and hospital with both these and Courtney Crawley, who is a medical professional, has these records.
Johnathan Crawley, wanted and needs to collect WORKMAN’S COMPENSATION but he cannot because he would have to explain how wood got into the eye of a CID deputy and the McNamaras continue to telephone him and he considers their attention and phone calls “a threat”, which I also believe it is.
Crawley was also stopped by Ben Toombs for a possible DWI. Please go to this Public Information link and you will find the video. It is public and on the Internet.
cdn.muckrock.com/foia_files/2023/06/06/BenToombs_202305122058_Unit111_49532019__Redacted_.mp4
In this video Crawley says, (paraphrasing) “Don’t you know who I am, I work in CID”
Ben Toombs, also a Sheriff’s deputy tells Crawley that he has “never seen him in the building” and doesn’t know who he is.
This is because Crawley NEVER WAS IN THE BUILDING, no, he was at the McNamara place.
It is interesting to watch a drunkey Crawley, “get off” and have his wife pick him up in what the other deputy continues to call a “courtesy” that they give other law enforcement officers, which is indeed yet another story.
Crawley was fired by the Sheriff’s department somewhere in here, there are records, of course, but I am interested mainly in getting this to you because I’ve already had to fight just to get your name as Foreperson, which, IS public information. Your address, of course, is not and I NEVER asked for that, it’s not legal, and, I know better.
They merely did not want ME to give this to a real person with a real name.
Sherry Beard contacted me the next day and told me about the meeting, her job was to help them find an attorney. This was Feb. 7 and the Sheriff’s election was fast approaching. The group wanted this to be made public so the public could see what Parnell had done, which is illegal and defrauding the taxpayers of 150K.
I managed to get attorney, Brittany Lannen to take the case. She came to town and I met with her at the office of Marcee Thomas and gave Brittany the above fo;, and employment records. Brittany Lannen had already spoke to Courtney Crawley by this time and was going to take their case. We were all incensed that Parnell did this.
Marcee and Brittany were members of the Repubican Club, I do NOT belong to either party but was angry enough to go with them so I did.
By this time, I had personally talked to Johnathan Crawley as he got into a truck with Chris Eubank and I talked to both of them at once.
Crawley told me he had texts, emails and a film of Charlotte McNamara yelling at him when another car came up, “Run, hide in the woods”, which became my battle cry.
At the buffet, I confronted Charlotte McNamara. I told her I knew what they had done and when she asked me how I was doing, I told her I felt wonderful, wonderful enough to go “run, hide in the woods”.
She asked me to tell her “exactly” what that meant, and I did.
She went to her table and immediately told Parnell who then stared at me and had a “staring contest” with me for about six minutes, which was incredible. I had not had a “staring contest” since Catholic school 1956. I wound up making “kissy kissy” lip pursing at him with a big smile and he turned red and angry.
I also wrote Parnell a hand written letter detailing what I knew and asking him to resign.
When we left the meeting I walked directly into Josh Tetens. I told Tetens everything and asked him if he knew Brittany Lannen, who is in my book, above reproach.I asked him if he “believed me” and he said he did. I told him that Brittany was “right here” and if he wanted to ask her anything, he didn’t.
The witness to THIS is Marcee Thomas who was behind me as I talked to Tetens.
There was a question about the fee with Brittany and the Crawleys decided they wanted ANOTHER ATTORNEY. Time was slipping away and the election was two weeks away.
I got them another attorney, Aubrey Robertson.Robertson talked to Courtney Crawley at length but they never signed a contract with him either, thus, neither Lannen nor Robertson have “attorneyclient priviledge” with the Crawleys and is more than willing to talk to you and this Grand Jury.
Parnell and Charlotte McNamara continued to telephone the Crawleys and they became too frightened to go further.
Unfortunately, they had already opened Pandora’s Felony Box and although I feel sorry for them, the rest of us are now in danger of retribution from the McNamara’s and I, for one, have had them try their best to put me in jail, AND through at least one of their “buddies” have received nasty messages, although non threatening from Becky Boyer, who, the internet caught up with as she had stolen the identity of one Jan Grice. I have also gotten emails and comments from someone using my dead son’s email AND someone usingn Sherry Beard’s email address and identity also.
I wrote Josh Tetens and he assured me that HE was going to get his office to investigate the allegation. That was in March.
Unfortunately, the Sheriff won again and the truth doesn’t seem to matter.
I am asking you as the Foreperson of this Grand Jury and a citizen of this State and County to use YOUR total power as a Grand Jury to subpoena the following people:
Courtney Crawley.
Courtney Crawley can be subpoenaed under the following.
A subpoena “duces tecum”, which is a subpoena for her and all the records from the hospital about the wood that injured Johnathan’s eye, and the rotator cuff injury.
Johnathan Crawley: Johnathan can be subpoenaed to bring his texts, videos, and records to you and this Grand Jury. He will be scared but willing and I assure you, he will not lie.
Chris Eubank: Chris Eubank will be more than willing to meet you and tell you everything he knows without hesitation. Eubank has been waiting for Tetens, the press or someone to ask him. No one does.
Chris Eubank’s phone number is
Rebecca Eubank is at the Courthouse and works for Judge Luna,
Major Pam Whitlock, I do not have her address or number, however, the prosecutor and investigators that are at your disposal do, make them do it.
Sherry Beard. Sherry Beard will tell you that she called Josh Tetens, “six times a day for weeks” about this and received no calls back.
David Kilcrease. David Kilcrease was fired by McNamara, then allowed to hand in a letter of resignation. He knows about Crawley and also about McNamara borrowing money from his girlfriend, Sherry Johnston.
Retired Texas Ranger Matt Cawthon
Bernadette Feazell , I will gladly testify.
Aubrey Robertson – Aubrey is a criminal defense attorney and has run for DA. He has talked with Courtney Crawley, and had two appointments with the Crawleys to sign them as clients which they were to frightened to keep.
Josh Tetens you know where to find him, please ask him why he told me that “my office will investigate” and has not. The very day after the Republican Club meeting were I saw him, he was endorsed by Parnell McNamara.
Brittany Lannen has a law office in Valley Mills and is more than willing to testify in your Grand Jury. She was recently injured, however, but should be home from the Parkland Burn Unit by the time you get this, her phone number is : . She is also not incumbered by Attorney/client priviledge in this because there is no signed contract with the Crawleys.
Johnathan Crawley is afraid to draw Workman’s Comp and this is also a sad thing.
Jeff Aguirre: Jeff Aguirre is an investigator for Josh Tetens and went to Tetens and told him all the same things I am telling you about Johnathan Crawley and a theft of monies from the taxpayers of this county. Unfortunately, Aguirre has to “make a living and feed his kids” so you will have to subpoena him out of his fear of Tetens, McNamara, and his future.
Amber Aguirre also works for Tetens.
Marcee Thomas Marcee Thomas was at the Brown House Cafe when Courtney Crawley told the entire place about the wood chips and everything else that transpired, totally unscripted or question. Marcee was also there with me when I confronted Tetens at the Republican Club. Her number is
THE LAW
You as the Grand Jury Foreperson and your fellow Grand Jurors can get the prosecutor to ACT under the law
ABUSE OF OFFICIAL CAPACITY
The crime when an elected official uses one of his employees to do personal work like remodeling the official’s home while the employee is on the clock on county payroll can potentially fall under the category of “Abuse of Official Capacity” as defined under Texas law.
The relevant statute, V.T.C.A., Penal Code § 39.02(a)(2), specifies that a public servant commits an offense if, with the intent to obtain a benefit, they intentionally or knowingly misapply anything of value belonging to the government that has come into their custody or possession by virtue of their office (
Campbell v. State, 139 S.W.3d 676 (2003))[1], (
Ex parte Perry, 483 S.W.3d 884 (2016))[2]. This statute clearly encompasses scenarios where a public servant misuses government resources, including personnel, for personal gain. The definition of “misapply” includes applying wrongly or to misuse or spend without proper authority.
In a closely analogous case, a public servant was indicted for having misused government personnel by having a subordinate perform work at his home during working hours, as per the indictment (
Campbell v. State, 139 S.W.3d 676 (2003))[1]. This aligns with the current scenario where a county employee is used for personal tasks while being paid by the county.
Therefore, the scenario described in the query where an elected official uses a county employee for personal remodeling work during paid hours would likely constitute an “Abuse of Official Capacity” under Texas Penal Code § 39.02(a)(2), and is punishable as a criminal offense.
The above response is AI-generated and may contain errors. It should be verified for accuracy.

Gándara v. State
Court of Appeals of Texas, El Paso.November 16, 2016527 S.W.3d 2612016 WL 6780081
“…Texas case law is replete with examples in which a government official is charged with accepting a financial gain in exchange for a wrongful exercise of his governmental duties. In Davis v. State, Sheriff Davis accepted money in exchange for ignoring and not investigating individuals manufacturing whiskey. 101 Tex.Crim. 243, 247-248, 275 S.W. 1060, 1062 (1925). In Selvidge v. State, Selvidge paid $200 to Sheriff Sanders to permit the transportation of intoxicating liquors in violation of the Sheriff’s duty. 126 Tex.Crim. 489, 490, 72 S.W.2d 1079, 1079-80 (1934). The Selvidge court characterized bribery as an offense in which a public official for a valuable reward agrees to refrain from performing his official duties or corruptly perform his duties contrary to the law. Id. In Roseman v. State, the appellant was convicted of bribing a police officer with $20 so as to refrain from being arrested for gaming and liquor law violations. 382 S.W.2d 261, 263 (Tex.Crim.App. 1964). In McClelland v. State, Probate Judge McClelland was found to have accepted bribes from five individuals in exchange for appointing those individuals as appraisers, administrators, and guardians in the Probate Court. 390 S.W.2d 777, 778-79 (Tex.Crim.App. 1965). In Bates v. Texas, Judge Bates was convicted of bribery by accepting money in exchange for a defendant sentenced in his court to probation. 587 S.W.2d 121, 125-27 (Tex.Crim.App. 1979). The Bates Court noted that ” ‘(T)he inequity of the procuring of public officials, be it intentional or unintentional, is so fatally destructive to good government that a statute designed to remove the temptation for a public official to give preferment to one member of the public over another, by prohibiting all gifts ‘for or because of an official act,’ is a reasonable and proper means of insuring the integrity, fairness and impartiality of the administration of the law.” Id. at 128, citing U.S. v. Irwin, 354 F.2d 192, 196 (2nd Cir. 1965). In a second McCallum case, the court described the effect of bribery is to ” ‘subvert the function of government to the advantage of the few who can or will pay for special advantages, but more important is the lack of confidence in government which such practices cause.’ ” McCallum v. State, 686 S.W.2d 132, 133-34 (Tex.Crim.App. 1985)(citing Explanatory Comment in Branch’s Ann.P.C., 3rd Ed., Vol. III, S 36.02, V.T.C.A., Penal Code S 36.02 (1974)).…”

Powell, a public servant responsible for supervising a division of an independent school district, was alleged with requisite intent to have used money coming into his possession by virtue of his employment as payment for building materials and labor supplied by a lumber company for his personal uses. The evidence showed that during one year Powell caused four separate checks totaling some twelve thousand dollars payable to the lumber company to be withdrawn from a school district fund in its bank depository; to cover the amounts drawn, the payee lumber company prepared fictitious invoices, while actually crediting the proceeds to its costs for materials and labor in repairing or remodeling a ranchhouse belonging to Powell, who spent none of his own funds for the work done.

State v. Denton
Court of Appeals of Texas, Austin.January 18, 1995893 S.W.2d 1251995 WL 17102
“…While the Robinson-Gallagher-Hall trilogy establish a legal definition of official misconduct under article 4.05, they are less instructive in determining what acts are “related to the duties of the defendant’s office.” Under Gallagher, official oppression is always a form of official misconduct. Likewise, theft of money entrusted to a public official is related to official duties and therefore is official misconduct under Robinson. Under Hall, in contrast, negligent operation of a motor vehicle by a public official is not related to official duties and therefore falls outside the scope of official misconduct. With this guidance, we must decide whether compliance with the Election Code’s requirements for officeholder reports is a duty related to the office of a state legislator.…”

Margraves v. State
Court of Appeals of Texas, Houston (14th Dist.).June 10, 1999996 S.W.2d 2901999 WL 374095
“…To establish a violation of penal statute governing a public servant’s abuse of official capacity through misuse of government property, the state must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that: (1) use of property involved absolutely no official state business; or (2) the use of state property for both personal and official business purposes caused state to incur additional costs because of the personal use. V.T.C.A., Penal Code S 39.02(a)(2).…”
“…Here, appellant was indicted under section 39.02(a)(2), which provides that a public servant commits an offense if, with the intent to obtain a benefit, he intentionally or knowingly misapplies anything of value belonging to the government that has come into his custody or possession by virtue of his office. See tex. Pen.Code Ann. S 39.02(a)(2) (Vernon 1994). The indictment specified that the thing of value belonging to the government was an aircraft owned by Texas A & M University System. The charge defined the term misapply as “to apply wrongly or to misuse or spend without proper authority.” The statute clearly provides for criminal liability for the intent to use state property for personal benefit, but does not purport to criminalize the “mixed use” of state property in a manner that realizes both an official and personal benefit. The State disagrees and contends that the statute passes constitutional muster because a reasonable person would know that section 39.02(a)(2) prohibits the use of state aircraft to travel to a relative’s college graduation. We would agree with the State, had appellant only attended his son’s graduation while in Baton Rouge. The record reflects, however, that appellant also conducted state business while he was there. We echo the concerns of Amici Curiae that the State’s construction of section 39.02(a)(2) allows prosecutors to “second guess” public officials who may, quite innocently, mix business and personal matters while conducting state business.…”
“…Under penal statute proscribing a public servant’s misuse of government property, a public official cannot be prosecuted for a mixed use of state property, one involving both personal and official business, when the evidence conclusively establishes that the use of the state property benefits both the individual and the state. V.T.C.A., Penal Code S 39.02(a)(2).…”
“…Some time later, appellant was indicted for official misconduct under section 39.02 of the Texas Penal Code, a third degree felony. See tex. Pen.Code Ann. S 39.02(a)(2) (Vernon 1994). The main questions to be decided on appeal are (1) whether a public servant who uses government property that results in both an official benefit and personal benefit has violated section 39.02(a)(2); and (2) whether section 39.02(a)(2) gives adequate notice to public servants that they may be prosecuted for the mixed use of state property, i.e., a use that benefits both the State and the public servant. We hold that a “mixed use” does not violate section 39.02(a)(2) and that the statute does not provide adequate notice that a public official can be prosecuted for the “mixed use” of state property.…”

I would like to thank you and I must remark here that you and I are probably the only two people I know that can actually spell our name correctly.
You know that “Bernadette” means “little bear”, and I hope that you, like me fit that name.
I hope that you and the other members of this Grand Jury resent a man having another man, a deputy, work at his homeplace and get hurt, get fired, and stay intimidated by a Sheriff with too much power.
Do I know what I am doing and how to do it?
Yes, I was married to Vic Feazell and have been a paralegal for longer than Josh Tetens has been alive.
If you want my help, along with the prosecutor, I am more than willing.
I promise you that if I know something, I do and if I don’t I am not of the ego that won’t say it.
I hope, sincerely, that THIS Grand Jury will question these non curious prosecutors and bring justice to the taxpayers of this county along with the people who stuck their necks out to help Crawley, including me.
Thank you so much,
Bernadette Feazell
