BREAKING: The race for Williamson County sheriff is over, with all precincts reporting. Incumbent Robert Chody has been defeated by 32,501 votes. 56 to 44 percent.
It's not political. It's about right and wrong. The only one not calling for his resignation is facing an indictment himself. @sheriffchody@MikeGleason2020
Remember when Chody, along with every other candidate from both parties, was invited to speak at this political event and he was one of the few that didn't show? He was real brave to show up one on one today in a parking lot but not in a formal setting with rules. @sheriffchody
NEW: Our profile of Williamson County Sheriff Robert Chody -- how his early life in a Florida trailer park, $52 million lotto winnings and a craving for celebrity have shaped policing in the notorious tough-on-crime Texas county. https://t.co/ayBdjZhTfn
Most were afraid that somehow Chody would know how they voted, yet many did a gut check and voted their conscience anyway.The fact that THE Williamson County Deputies Association endorsed Gleason and not the current sheriff says a lot. You should listen to them.@sheriffchody
EXCLUSIVE: A Williamson County grand jury is considering evidence tampering charges against Sheriff Robert Chody, crews from "Live PD" and anyone else possibly involved in the destruction of video in the death of #JavierAmbler. Multiple deputies confirm being called to testify.
He told me he didn’t think I was ‘Team Chody,’” Brogden said. “I told them, ‘It’s not ‘Team Chody.’ It’s ‘Team Williamson County.’ I was embarrassed to say I worked there.” @tplohetski@KVUE@USATODAY@sheriffchody
This one has more details.

Luera, JJ Johnson & Casey are behind the new "Assn". It is listed at 8160 Chander Road, better known as the DAWG. This is also the listed address for Luera. Is it appropriate and legal to form an organization and list a public building as the address? Seems wrong. @sheriffchody
Chody is apparently creating his own association because the official WC Deputies Assn, a 501c3 will not endorse him and has his biggest LivePD fan pushing it out. No website, no way to join, can't collect dues or provide benefits, just a Facebook page. Pathetic.

EXCLUSIVE: With all possible firepower, a Williamson County SWAT team busted down a front door to arrest a 24-year-old in an alleged roommate assault. The weaponized takedown, aired on "Live PD," came just hours after deputies had ample chance to quietly arrest Asher Watsky.
Jail employees are being sent home at this moment because @sheriffchody has run out of overtime to pay them. Be prepared for him to blame the commissioners but the fact is he has no idea how to run the SO and stay within his budget. https://t.co/EgXassjGQX
@EngelsAngle @WilCoSheriffPIO @KXAN_News Chody’s pet Chief Ryle specifically directed the deputies to not cooperate and not provide statements. APD wanted the LivePd footage, requested it, and never got it from Wilco. Wilco let it get deleted, knowing APD wanted it.
