$30,000 Reward Offered for Info on Trooper Slaying Suspect
Several East Texas businesses and district attorneys’ offices have put up a $30,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and indictment of the person responsible for the death of Trooper James Scott Burns, the Department of Public Safety announced today.

Anyone with information is asked to call DPS toll free at 1-888-244-0827 or 1-888-244-0829.

Law enforcement officers throughout the state are looking for Brandon Wayne Robertson, 37, a suspect in the fatal shooting of a DPS trooper Tuesday night in Marion County near Lake O’ the Pines. Robertson was last seen driving a blue Dodge Intrepid with Texas license plate 039-LCG.

Funds for the reward were donated by Oak Farms Dairies, Hunt Petroleum, the Bowie County District Attorney’s Office, the Cass County District Attorney’s Office and the Marion County District Attorney’s Office.

The reward will remain in force for six months from today’s date, the DPS said.
