DALLAS — New questions are surfacing regarding the Dallas County deputy constable who was charged in a bribery-for-sex scheme.
Lt. Howard Watson faces sexual assault and bribery counts as part of an ongoing corruption investigation by the Dallas County grand jury.
But should his boss — Dallas County Precinct 5 Constable Jaime Cortes — have known something was wrong? While Cortes is not accused of committing a crime, a criminal investigation leads to his office.
Howard Watson, one of Cortes’ top lieutenants, is charged with allegedly soliciting sex from women whose criminal warrants he offered to destroy.
During a recent News 8 Investigation into Watson’s on-duty activities, we observed him make a traffic stop on a female driver using his personal vehicle, which is equipped with flashing emergency police lights.
