According to reports from KETK, at around 9:45 p.m. on March 28, officials said a deputy initiated a traffic stop on 28 year old Cody Voss who allegedly did not pull over until he reached the Phillips residence. This is where things go off the rails.

Karen Phillips is the wife of Smith County Precinct 3 Commissioner Terry Phillips. The DA’s office is responsible for representing Smith County as an organization, and Smith County is managed by the Commissioner’s Court, therefore Commissioner Terry Phillips is a client of the Smith County District Attorney’s Office for certain matters.

But the Smith County DA's Office is recusing itself from this case and a visiting prosecutor from outside of the county will be appointed for the case to ensure the case is prosecuted “without any hint of impropriety". It will be interesting to see what happens next in this case.
