A Karnes County jury found Heather Marie Ramirez guilty of the 3rd degree felony offense of Assault on a Public Servant. Ramirez was convicted of assaulting a Department of Family and Protective Services employee, who was attempting to enforce an Emergency Removal Order for two of her minor children.
Ramirez elected to... have the judge sentence her. The range punishment in this case is anything from probation up to 10 years in prison, and up to a $10,000 fine. Her sentencing date is July 30th.
We are thankful to the Department of Family and Protective Services for keeping children safe. They have a difficult job, and deserve our respect and protection.
We appreciate the time, attention, and service of our jurors, Asst. District Attorney Raneca Henson for presenting the case to the jury, and law enforcement for investigating the case.
