According to multiple media outlets, 42-year-old Cody Pritchard is being held without bond in the Stephens County Jail in Breckenridge on a charge of Capital Murder of a Peace Officer, the suspect in Friday night’s fatal shooting of Eastland County Deputy David Bosecker.

In a story on the Breckenridge Texan website, Stephens County Sheriff Kevin Roach said the Eastland County sheriff and county judge contacted him Friday night and asked if the suspect could be housed in the Stephens County Jail. Roach said officials were going to decide Saturday if Pritchard would be arraigned by Stephens County Justice of the Peace Steve Spoon or by the Eastland County JP.

“I don’t know who will actually do the arraignment, but the charges will be filed through Eastland County since that’s the county where the offense is alleged to have been committed,” Roach told the Breckenridge Texan. “It’s not really much different than a warrant arrest. When someone gets a warrant issued out of one county and gets arrested in another, a magistrate can do the arraignment because all they’re basically doing is formally telling them what they’re charged with and what their rights are, setting a bond or denying bond, whatever is going to happen in this case. But I’m not sure if Judge Spoon will do the arraignment or if an Eastland County magistrate will do it.”

Bosecker arrived on scene first Friday night at a domestic fight call at a residence between Rising Star and Cisco and immediately began receiving gunfire from the suspect. Bosecker was struck and fatally wounded. Other units arriving were able to apprehend the suspect and no one else was injured.
