BEAUMONT, Texas — The district attorney’s office in Orange County will not pursue a case against an Orange County constable accused of pulling a gun at his home in front of children and threatening suicide in late November….

… “We are refusing the case,” Krsipen Walker, an Orange County assistant district attorney, told 12News Friday morning.

“No evidence exists that he threatened anyone other than himself that night,” Walker said on Friday. …

… Ortego’s ex-wife had told police that Ortego had threatened to shoot her daughter and other children who were at the home according to the Vidor Police report.

    He should have been on a 72 hour hold-and-assess immediately following the incident. Same for anyone who pulls a weapon on unarmed and not aggressive people. Clearly something is broken in someone who resorts to pulling a gun on someone for no reason.
