CALVERT, Texas (KBTX) – Calvert's city clerk was arrested last Thursday and charged with tampering with government records, KBTX has confirmed.

According to probable cause documents, 76-year-old Rose Jones intentionally issued a subpoena “without the effective consent or knowledge of the Calvert Municipal Judge.”
