Ex-Bertram police chief gets probation, 20 days of jail for altering son’s insurance card
BURNET — A former Bertram police chief found guilty of altering his son’s insurance card to avoid paying a traffic fine won’t be headed to state prison, but he still must serve 20 days in jail and two years probation.
Judge Guilford “Gil” Jones of the 33d state District Court sentenced David Caudle July 19 after the ex-lawman’s conviction May 15 on a third-degree felony charge of tampering with physical evidence.
Caudle faced up to 10 years in prison.
