A man arrested after Houston police stopped the funeral procession for his 28-year-old brother has been charged with murder in his death.

Chris Dwayne Jackson was taken into custody Friday after police stopped the procession on its way to Paradise North Cemetery for the burial of his brother, Michael Curtis Jackson.

"He failed to cooperate in any way," Newcomb said. "We had been advised that family members said this was a family issue and not a police issue ... and they were going to handle it internally."

Hmmm...I wonder how the family intended to handle this "family issue"?

It was an interesting statment, and when you couple it with the relatives statements that he is innocent- I am speculating that there may be something the family knows that the LE doesn't.

An admitted drug dealer who initially told police his brother died in a drive-by shooting then later said he had accidentally shot him, received a 20-year prison sentence Thursday after a Harris County jury found him guilty of criminally negligent homicide...

He will be eligible for parole in 10 years.
