What in the hell is the purpose of printing
this story now?
IT hasn't been the best of summers for Rick Brass, a former captain in the Harris County Precinct 4 Constable's Office.
Brass, 56, also a lawyer, recently found himself on the wrong side of the law after a fender bender at the constable station on Cypresswood. The incident led to his resignation and a misdemeanor charge.
Brass says he was at the station on June 28 when he was upset by a call from his soon-to-be ex-wife, asking him to haul a trailer home so she could move out.
He installed a trailer hitch on his personal vehicle, but as he backed out, he heard a noise and slammed on the brakes. He got out and found a Honda roadster behind him. Brass said he wasn't sure he had struck it, however, so he drove away.
Brass resigned on July 6 and was charged the next day with failure to stop and give information, a Class B misdemeanor.
The story is mildly amusing, but its only marginally newsworthy, and that if it's brand new. The wreck happened nearly a month ago. The resignation and charge were nearly three weeks ago.
What is this doing in my newspaper?
