A former justice of the peace who is currently in custody is expected to be charged as early as Tuesday in the recent killings of two prosecutors in Kaufman County, Texas, according to The Dallas Morning News.
The former official, Eric Williams, was arrested Saturday and is being held on charges including making a terroristic threat.
Law enforcement authorities told the Morning News on Sunday that they had found numerous weapons in a storage unit linked to Williams, along with a car similar to the one linked to the killings of Kaufman County District Attorney Mike McLelland and his wife, Cynthia, who were found shot to death in their home on March 30.
Williams lost his position as a justice of the peace after being convicted last year of stealing county computer equipment. Both McLelland and Mark Hasse, a county prosecutor killed Jan. 31, were reportedly involved in Williams’ case.
