Araujo Faces Another Misdemeanor Charge
Lockney Justice of the Peace, Michelle Araujo, is now facing another Class A Misdemeanor Charge.
March 23, in County Court, Araujo was charged with Official Oppression (Texas Penal Code 39.03).
County Attorney Lex Herrington filed the complaint based on an affidavit filed by Sheriff Paul Raissez.
According to the affidavit, Floyd County Justice of the Peace of Pct. 2 & 3, "acting under the color of her office and employment, did intentionally deny or impede (name withheld) in the exercise and enjoyment of her right or privilege or power or immunity, to wit: her right to free speech and right to travel.."
The complainant in this case (whose name is being withheld because of fear of reprisal) told The Hesperian-Beacon she had received a threatening phone call from Araujo a few days before Michelle Araujo allegedly shot her husband, Romeo Araujo.
The complainant said, "She (Michelle Araujo) told me she had the authority to do whatever she wanted to do with me... and that she could make my life miserable."
