In all, a dozen officers tied to the narcotics unit have been indicted after their work came under scrutiny following the January 2019 drug raid in which Dennis Tuttle, 59, and his wife, Rhogena Nicholas, 58, were killed. Ogg said grand jurors on Monday also indicted three retired officers who had been indicted last year on different charges in connection with the case. A spokesman for the Houston Police Officers’ Union did not immediately return an email seeking comment Monday. Since the raid, prosecutors have been reviewing thousands of cases handled by the narcotics unit.
