FORT WORTH, Texas - A Texas Christian University student has been
charged with evidence tampering in connection with the death of the grandson of
billionaire T. Boone Pickens.
The Fort Worth Star-Telegram (http://bit.ly/YUnWnp) reported Monday that
21-year-old Brennan Trainor Rodriguez is accused of removing evidence from an
apartment and hiding it from police investigating the death of Thomas "Ty" Boone
Pickens IV.
The newspaper said court documents identified the evidence as heroin, drug
paraphernalia, syringes and marijuana. Tampering with evidence with intent to
impair an investigation is a third-degree felony punishable by up to 10 years in
prison and a $10,000 fine.
The Star-Telegram said Bruce Ashworth, Rodriguez's attorney, declined to
comment.
Pickens, a 21-year-old TCU junior, died Jan. 29. A ruling on the cause and
manner of death is still pending.
