HOUSTON – A 10-year veteran of the Houston Police Department was in court Monday after being fired last month following allegations he lied obtain warrants.

Officer Kenneth Dale Troost was charged June 23 by a Harris County grand jury with two counts of tampering with a government record. Tuesday was Troost's first time in court.

In court, his bond was set at $10,000, and his next court date is scheduled for Aug. 30.

The charges stem from two separate DWI documents that Troost wrote.

He is accused of lying to obtain a warrant for blood samples from people whom he believed were driving drunk.

In one incident, Troost is accused of knowingly making a false entry in trying to defraud and harm a person whom he saw traveling west on Fairview at Montrose on Nov. 19, 2015. He claimed that the woman didn't use her blinker while turning from Fairview to Montrose or while changing lanes at 2200 Montrose.

Troost said he pulled over the woman and smelled alcohol on her breath. He said she had red, glassy eyes, slurred speech and told him that she had had one vodka before he asked any questions.

Troost said he performed sobriety tests that he had previously used to determine whether a driver was under the influence of alcohol. He claimed that the woman showed several signs of being drunk during the tests.

The woman refused to provide a blood or breath sample. Troost said he arrested her and took her to the police station.

The department is trying to determine how the charges will affect Troost's other cases.

Troost had been with HPD since 2006. HDP said he resigned effective Friday.

He was last assigned to the traffic enforcement division.

He posted a $10,000 bond and was released from custody. His arraignment is scheduled for July 8.
