Former Williamson County Sheriff Robert Chody, who wooed a popular reality TV show in his pursuit of celebrity and to boost his political profile, turned himself in Thursday on evidence tampering charges in the destruction of the program’s footage that captured the death of Javier Ambler II.
Issued by a grand jury in Austin, the indictment marked the second time in six months that Chody has been charged for his alleged actions related to the video from the show “Live PD.” In that time, the once-popular Republican sheriff also lost his bid for reelection.
Chody’s surrender Thursday to the Travis County Jail came in a week of rapid movement in an investigation that was finalized almost two years to the day after deputies chased Ambler in a pursuit launched over a minor traffic infraction and used Tasers on him while he gasped that he could not breathe and had heart failure.
