CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — A former top aide to Nueces County Commissioner Brent Chesney is under arrest and is accused of destroying parts of Chesney's home.
Paul Thurman is charged with burglary, criminal mischief and retaliation against a public servant.
This comes three months after Thurman was fired.
Police say Thurman showed up at Chesney's home and tried to kick in the door and broke a window. Chesney wasn't home at the time, but his wife was and she called the police.
When police arrived, they said Thurman was in the back yard holding a large rock. His bond has been set at $65,000.
