Robert Dwain Manor III posted a $75,000 bond and was placed on administrative leave while the sheriff’s investigation continues.
KAUFMAN, TX — A Kaufman County Precinct 2 constable sergeant was arrested Nov. 7 on a felony charge of indecency with a child by sexual contact, according to an arrest report obtained by FOX 4.
Robert Dwain Manor III, 46, was arrested by the Kaufman County Sheriff’s Office at about 3:55 a.m. Authorities have released few details about the allegation that led to the charge. Manor posted a $75,000 bond later that day and was released from jail. The charge is an allegation, and the case has not resulted in a conviction.
Manor serves as a sergeant deputy with the Kaufman County Constable Precinct 2 office. The constable’s office placed him on administrative leave after learning that he was the subject of a criminal investigation by the sheriff’s office. The leave will remain in place while the investigation and related proceedings continue.
Precinct 2 Constable Jason Johnson said the office was notified Nov. 6 that one of its deputies was under investigation for alleged criminal conduct. Johnson said the department had not previously been aware of the investigation or the allegations and moved to place the deputy on leave after receiving notice.
Johnson told FOX 4 that the arrest came as a shock and raised concerns about how long the investigation had been underway without the constable’s office knowing about it. Johnson questioned whether Manor may have continued handling arrests or responding to calls while investigators were examining the allegation against him. No information has been released showing that any of Manor’s official actions were affected by the investigation.
The Kaufman County Sheriff’s Office has not publicly released the arrest warrant affidavit or detailed the evidence behind the charge. The agency told FOX 4 it was withholding the warrant because of the sensitive nature of the case. Officials also have not publicly described the alleged conduct, identified a victim or provided details about when or where the alleged offense occurred.
Public employment records cited by FOX 4 show Manor has worked for the Precinct 2 constable’s office since 2020. Earlier in his law enforcement career, he worked for the Kaufman County Sheriff’s Office and police departments in Quinlan, Crandall and Vernon. Kaufman County Commissioners Court records from January 2021 also list Manor among deputy constables whose deputations were approved by the county.
The constable’s office said in a statement that it intends to assess the allegations and determine its next steps while protecting public trust. The department said allegations of misconduct are taken seriously and that Manor was placed on administrative leave immediately after the office learned of the investigation.
As of Nov. 11, Manor had been released on bond and remained on administrative leave. Authorities had not publicly released further details about the underlying allegation, and the sheriff’s investigation remained the central source of any additional information about the case.
