Wilson County jury convicts Roger Moehrig of Assault on a Public Servant. Moehrig’s extensive criminal history, including multiple prior prison trips enhanced his punishment range to 25 years to life in prison. The Honorable 218th District Judge Russell Wilson sentenced the defendant to 37 years in prison. Moehrig’s record spanned 35 years and included trips to the penitentiary for prior felonies including Burglary of a Habitation, DWI – 3rd Offense, and Indecency with a Child. We are grateful for the service of our jury. By participating in jury service, our jurors send a message not only to the defendant, but to others that choose to violate the law in our jurisdiction that such conduct will not be tolerated. I am proud of the work of ADAs Marc Ledet and Lorena Whitney for ensuring justice was served, and appreciate the hard work of the Wilson County Sheriff’s Office, particularly Deputies Samuel Emerson and Joseph Martinez, who went above and beyond.
