Unsealed Indictment
A grand jury indictment typically remains sealed if no arrest has been made in a case prior to deliberations. An indictment is not an indication of guilt, but rather a citizen jury’s verdict that a prosecutor has enough evidence against a person to proceed with felony trial.
The Wharton County Grand Jury issued the following recently unsealed indictment against:
• Eric Van Bean, 4114 Ackard in Houston for theft. He allegedly stole more than $11,000 in property on Dec. 4, 2015. The indictment was issued on Sept. 15, 2017.
