Fatal shooting among grand jury charges
A San Antonio man charged in the fatal shooting of another man in November has been indicted on a murder charge.
The case involving Clyde Poindexter, 42, was among the 130 felony indictments handed up last week by two newly impaneled Bexar County grand juries, the Bexar County District Attorney’s Office said in a statement.
Poindexter is accused of fatally shooting Michael Lane on Nov. 9. He is awaiting a trial setting, court records indicate.
If convicted of the first-degree felony offense, Poindexter faces up to life in prison.
In another case, Daniel John Baladez, 35, was charged in a 12count indictment alleging promotion of and possession of child pornography.
Six counts in the indictment allege that on Aug. 20, Baladez intentionally or knowingly promoted child pornography by sending visual materials that depicted a child younger than 18 engaging in sexual conduct to another individual through the Kik Messenger
application, according to the statement.
The other six counts in the indictment charge Baladez with possession of child pornography, alleging that he intentionally or knowingly possessed visual material that depicted a child younger than 18 years of age engaging in sexual conduct.
Baladez is out on bond and is awaiting a trial setting, court records indicate.
If convicted of the second-degree felony, Baladez faces up to 20 years in prison and a possible fine of up to $10,000.
Also indicted this week was Jean Marie Bugoma, 24. He is charged with multiple felony offenses, including cruelty to livestock and bestiality.
Two indictments charge Bugoma with burglary of a building with the intent to commit another felony on Jan. 8. He is accused of entering a building on two occasions with the intent to commit bestiality, a felony offense.
He also is charged in the same indictments with cruelty to animals, accused of “tripping” three horses, or roping the front or hind legs, causing the animal to trip and fall.
A third indictment accuses Bugoma of two counts of bestiality, intentionally and knowingly engaging in sexual conduct with horses.
All of Bugoma’s cases are state jail felonies punishable by 180 days to two years in jail and a possible fine up to $10,000.
