Wharton Man Cleared in Officer Threat Case

A Wharton man has been cleared of a charge involving a threat against a Wharton ISD police officer, but his legal troubles are not over. A jury in Wharton’s 23rd District Court found 41-year-old Jealous Jones Mayberry not guilty earlier this month. Prosecutors say jurors believed the situation involved a personal relationship. District officials respected the verdict. Mayberry still faces multiple pending charges tied to a separate domestic disturbance and high-speed chase through Wharton streets last September.
