A Brazos County District Court jury takes seven minutes to find a Bryan man guilty of shooting and wounding a Bryan police officer in December 2022.

It then takes the jury less than an hour to reach a life sentence.

Joshua Herrin, 46, was convicted of aggravated assault on a public servant when he fired at the officer while fleeing a traffic stop in the area of ​​Wayside Drive and Avondale Avenue.

The officer did not return fire.

Herrin drove off in the officer’s patrol car, then abandoned it.

The next day, Herrin shot and wounded a Brazos County sheriff’s deputy in the Benchley area. Herrin, who was captured following the standoff, faces a lawsuit in Robertson County related to that incident. That case will be prosecuted by the Brazos County Prosecutor’s Office.

Herrin remains in the Brazos County Jail as of Nov. 5 in lieu of bonds totaling $5.7 million.
