Four defendants featured in Breaking Bond reports sentenced to prison
Four headline-grabbing defendants have all been sentenced to prison. Will they be behind bars for long? FOX 26's Randy Wallace explains.
HOUSTON - Three of four defendants profiled in Breaking Bond reports might not be behind bars for long.
The backstory:
February 11, 2025, Former Harris County Precinct 4 deputy Aaron Grant was charged with murder and free from jail on a $200,000 bond when he was arrested for five violent felonies.
Grant was sentenced to 35 years in prison.
"He will be parole eligible in 17 years," said Andy Kahan with Houston Crime Stoppers. "He's not going to be breathing free air again in quite a while."

On April 7, 2025, Sandy Broussard, a habitual offender, was on parole for engaging in organized criminal activity.
"She was taking money from the elderly," said Kahan. "She was out on a PR bond while out on parole, which simply defies logic."
Brossard was sentenced to 20 years. She was already serving a 26-year sentence, and since the 20-year sentence will run concurrently, she will be parole eligible next year.
On August 26, 2024, 20-year-old Eric Meza and 20-year-old Nathan Ybarra led police on a chase while free from jail on multiple bonds. They had all the charges filed against them but one dismissed.
They both got sentenced to five years for the only charge they plead guilty to. They will be parole eligible in 2027.
