Swearengen left a comment that reminded me to update this story. The Facts has a brief followup where it omits the correction to it’s erroneous reporting that the suspect was a “young white male”.
Kevin Jonathan Dominique, 41, of Houston is charged with aggravated assault of a public servant and burglary of a habitation, Angleton Police Sgt. Kirk Coleman said. He’s accused of fleeing from officers, refusing to exit his vehicle when asked and driving into a wooded area at the end of Tigner Street
Angleton Police Sgt. Kirk Coleman is the same guy The Facts quoted as saying the suspect was a “young white male.” As you can tell from the mug shot on his jail record (the jail records obviously do not use permalinks you’ll have to manual search for ‘Dominique’,) as well as from my eyewitness testimony, Kevin Jonathan Dominique is far from a young white male. That is definitely the guy from my driveway but I don’t recall his lips being so puffy. Maybe they got puffed up after he was taken into custody.
So here is what I want to know:
1. Does The Facts not know Kevin Dominique is black, and if they don’t know then what kind of news operation are they running over there in Clute?
2. Did Angleton Police Sgt. Kirk Coleman really say the suspect was white and if so why would he do that? If Coleman didn’t say the suspect was white why was he quoted as having said it?
Is it too much to ask for simple, straightforward reporting of the facts without all the politically correct bullshit? Falsely stating as fact that a deranged criminal is white is far worse than accurately stating that a criminal is black when he is in fact black.
If Coleman can’t tell the truth about the suspect’s skin color, why should I believe his statements that the suspect tried to run down the cops with h is car?

I wonder if this is the same Kevin Dominique?
July, 1993
In New Orleans, Kevin Dominique was acquitted of possession of stolen property, a crime for which he would have received only a short jail sentence.
On hearing the verdict, and despite the judge’s warnings on courtroom decorum, Dominique leaped to his feet, yelled “Thank God!” and bearhugged his lawyer. Judge Leon Cannizzaro then sentenced Dominique to six months in jail for contempt of court.
An appeals court freed Dominique after nine days.
UPDATE:
The link to the jail record was broekn and it took me a while to fix it. Something funny about the system but it should be working now. On one page it indicated that he has been released. How do you get released with a $350,000 bail?
