Indictments Handed Down

A Fayette County Grand Jury met on April 25 and handed down 10 indictments.

An indictment is not a finding of guilt. Rather, it is a formal accusation that a crime has been committed. A grand jury indicts someone when they find enough evidence to warrant a criminal trial.

Listed below are the defendants and the charges they face:

• Orlando Catano, 55 of Houston, for possession of a controlled substance, penalty group 1/1-B, greater than or equal to four grams and less than 200 grams, allegedly committed on Feb. 25.
