    BROOKSHIRE, Texas --

    A former police officer has been indicted on theft charges.

    A Waller County grand jury indicted former Brookshire Police Officer Charles Jerome Cole on charges of official oppression and theft on Saturday.

    Prosecutors said the charges are a result of an investigation conducted by several departments.

    The charges were based on Cole's conduct while on duty about three months ago, prosecutors said.

    Cole was released from jail on $10,000 bond.

    Cole's employment with the Brookshire Police Department was terminated before the cases went to a grand jury.
