Texas Sheriff's Deputy, Husband Accused Of Murder Leave Jail
The Harris County Sheriff's Office said Friday that Chauna and Terry Thompson have posted bail and that they have a court hearing scheduled for Tuesday.
They surrendered to authorities late Thursday after a grand jury that day handed up separate indictments against them.
The Thompsons are accused of causing the death of 24-year-old John Hernandez outside a Houston-area restaurant in May.
Authorities say Terry Thompson confronted an intoxicated Hernandez after seeing him urinate in public.
Chauna Thompson, who was off-duty, arrived later to help her husband subdue and restrain Hernandez.
