Harris County District Attorney Pat Lykos got a rude awakening after she announced her plans to run for re-election. Six police organizations, representing more than 10,000 former and current police officers, voted no confidence in her leadership, claiming Lykos has shirked her duty in the prosecution of cases. The dispute centers on Lykos’ policy of bringing only misdemeanor charges against offenders caught with drug residue of less than one-100th of a gram. Police unions want these cases to continue to be felonies, while a majority of Harris County district judges favor lessening the charge, complaining that courts are flooded with minor drug cases. And her predecessor, former DA Johnny Holmes, endorsed Mike Anderson, a Republican challenging Lykos. Anderson is a former assistant prosecutor and district court judge.
