I received in the mail today a copy of the incident report [07-03197] involving local real estate titan Joe Rust’s son Johnathon.

Some local defense attorneys have been buzzing about this case since November.

And here’s why: Rust and a friend were allegedly in east Waxahachie selling dope – this is from local defense attorneys, mind you. A bag of weed was foisted out of the side window – and two black teenagers run up, snatch the weed and hauls you-know-what down the street.

In the ensuing chase, Rust’s friend pulls a knife and it’s Rust that gets cut. The incident report states “Male walked in about 30 min ago to ER is a stabbing victim chest and back Johnathon Rust WM 092484.”

The charges against this black male: Aggravated assault with a deadly weapon; robbery; aggravated robbery.

Here’s the thing that’s pissing off people: how can you be charged with robbery of a substance you don’t legally have a right to possess? If it’s a car that’s one thing. If it’s weed, why the robbery charges?

WPD Lt. Billie Pendleton (yes, that Billie Wiggins Pendleton) is shown in the report as having “reviewed” the case.

Prosecutors are reportedly set to bring these two black teenagers “to justice.” Yeah, right. What’s about to happen is that two white kids with personal political connections are about to get off and once again, two not-so-innocent black kids are going to be thrown in jail.
