A second investigator from the Harris County, Texas District Attorney’s office has been indicted in the theft of valuable comics stolen from evidence, according to The Houston Chronicle.  Dustin Deutsch was indicted by a Harris County grand jury this week for felony theft by a public servant and tampering with evidence. 
 
The comics came from the collection of Anthony Chiafalo, a corrupt attorney who was convicted of embezzling $9 million from a client and using the money to buy collectables (among other goodies), including a Detective Comics #27 worth $850,000 and other key books (see "Geek Crime Blotter"). 
 
Deutsch’s former partner at the DA’s office, Lonnie Blevins, stole comics worth over $5,000 from an evidence locker for the Chiofalo case and was found out after selling the comics at a convention in Chicago.  Blevins pleaded guilty in the theft in May, and is currently awaiting sentencing.  Blevins’ sentencing was delayed because he was cooperating with investigators; his former partner’s indictment is presumably an outcome of that cooperation.  Deutsch was suspended after Blevins’ arrest, and later resigned, but was not accused in the incident until now.
