An inmate died by su***de 17 days after arriving at the Allred Unit, according to a custodial death report filed by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.

Lamont Donald Webster Jr., 30, arrived at the unit Aug. 28 and died Sept. 14. The report classifies his death as a su***de, though a final medical determination of the cause of death was pending.

Webster was one of three inmates assigned to Allred who died in September. His is the only one of 10 deaths reported for the unit this year classified as a su***de.

Webster was serving two concurrent six-year sentences from Grayson County for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and assault of a peace officer. He was sentenced in April 2023.

The aggravated assault case stemmed from a 2021 standoff in Bells, according to KXII’s reporting at the time.

State records show Webster was denied parole in October 2025. His next review was scheduled for October 2026, and his projected release was July 2027.

Correctional staff found 20 ci******es in a Wynne Unit officer’s pants pocket when she arrived at the prison, leading to her arrest, according to a show-cause statement.

Shamila Khan, 48, of Houston, had brought the ci******es for an inmate, an investigator with the Texas Department of Criminal Justice’s Office of Inspector General wrote. The statement cites the number of ci******es and how they were packaged as evidence that they were intended for delivery. It does not identify the inmate.

Investigators arrested Khan on Sept. 28 on a second-degree felony charge of bringing a prohibited substance or item into a correctional facility. She was taken to the Walker County Jail and released Sept. 29 on a $20,000 surety bond, jail records show.

Employment records show Khan was hired by TDCJ in January 2026.

A Coffield Unit correctional officer accused of having s*x with an inmate told an investigator she learned she was pregnant after their encounters in 2025, according to an arrest warrant affidavit.

Ieshia Latori Duncan, 39, of Palestine, was arrested Sept. 28 on a second-degree felony charge of improper s*xual activity with a person in custody. She remains in the Anderson County Jail on a $250,000 bond.

An investigator with the Texas Department of Criminal Justice’s Office of Inspector General was notified Aug. 25 after inmate James Presha Arterberry, 33, reported having s*x with Duncan at least twice in the prison’s food service commissary area during August and September 2025. Arterberry could not provide exact dates, the affidavit says.

Duncan denied the allegation when the investigator interviewed her Sept. 1. Three days later, a TDCJ major told the investigator that Duncan had acknowledged an improper relationship during a separate interview.

Duncan then voluntarily spoke with the investigator and said she had s*x with Arterberry approximately four times in the commissary area, according to the affidavit. She said she learned she was pregnant during a later doctor’s visit and had not been s*xually active with anyone else.

Duncan said she had feelings for Arterberry and described their relationship as consensual, but knew that having s*x with an inmate was illegal and feared being caught, the affidavit says.

Arterberry is serving a 35-year sentence for a 2010 aggravated robbery conviction in Smith County. State criminal history records also list a separate 2017 conviction involving a prohibited substance or item in a correctional facility, for which he received a three-year sentence ordered to run consecutively.

TDCJ records list Arterberry’s projected release date as February 2045. He becomes eligible for parole in August 2027.

An inmate serving three life sentences for s*xually assaulting a 10-year-old girl has died at the Telford Unit, according to a custodial death report filed by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.

Daniel Allen Bradshaw, 67, was found unresponsive in his cell Sept. 17. Prison staff began lifesaving measures and took him to the medical department, where he was pronounced dead. His cause and manner of death were pending an autopsy, the report says.

A Johnson County jury convicted Bradshaw in 2000 of three counts of aggravated s*xual assault of a child and one count of indecency with a child by s*xual contact. Jurors imposed a life sentence on each assault count and 20 years on the indecency count, according to court records.

The 10-year-old girl’s mother met Bradshaw while living at a halfway house. After her release in December 1999, they moved into her sister’s home in Cleburne, where the girl also stayed, according to a 2001 appellate opinion.

The girl testified that Bradshaw assaulted her three times over about two months. Her 11-year-old friend, who often visited the home, testified that he touched her inappropriately.

The younger girl first told her mother Bradshaw had touched her but withdrew the allegation after her mother confronted them both. She later gave her aunt a fuller account. Her friend told her own father what had happened to her, the opinion says.

At trial, Bradshaw argued that any touching was accidental and that the younger girl had made up the allegations. Jurors also heard from her 14-year-old cousin, who testified that Bradshaw had touched her inappropriately.

The appeals court ruled that the cousin’s testimony was properly admitted to help jurors assess Bradshaw’s claim that the contact was accidental. It also rejected his argument that his lawyer should have challenged the aunt’s testimony about the younger girl’s disclosure. The court upheld his convictions in November 2001.

Bradshaw entered TDCJ custody in October 2000 and arrived at Telford in December 2022, prison records show.

An inmate serving life without parole for s*xually abusing his then-fiancee’s granddaughter when she was as young as 5 has died in a Texas prison, according to a custodial death report.

Nathan Andrew Mennenga, 63, died Sept. 26 at the Michael Unit in Tennessee Colony, less than a year after entering the unit in December 2025. The report lists heart failure as the cause and classifies his death as natural.

The girl testified that she was about 5 to 7 when Mennenga first s*xually abused her while she was sleeping in a recliner during a visit to her grandmother’s Waco apartment, according to an appellate opinion. She told her grandmother the next day, but her grandmother did not believe her and dismissed the account.

She described another assault at age 10 while she was sleeping on a couch. Mennenga stopped when she told him to, she testified. She did not tell her grandmother about that incident and stopped visiting afterward.

The girl was 14 when she testified at his trial. A McLennan County jury convicted Mennenga of continuous s*xual abuse of a young child Sept. 24, 2024, and he was sentenced to life without parole the following day.

His biological daughter also testified that he s*xually abused her from about age 4 to 15. She said she had recanted an earlier report because she felt overwhelmed and unheard. Mennenga denied s*xually abusing either girl.

On appeal, Mennenga argued that his daughter’s testimony was irrelevant and unfairly prejudicial. The Thirteenth Court of Appeals rejected that argument and affirmed the judgment in March 2026, ruling that similarities between the accounts justified allowing the testimony.

Mennenga entered Texas Department of Criminal Justice custody in November 2024.

The death report says he was receiving treatment for the condition that caused his death but gives no further account of the circumstances, including whether emergency treatment or resuscitation was attempted.

Results of a medical examiner or coroner evaluation were pending when the report was submitted Sept. 29.

An inmate serving a two-year sentence for assaulting a peace officer died less than four months after arriving at the Garza West Unit, according to a custodial death report.

Asberry B. Butler, 61, died Sept. 25 at the prison in Beeville, where he had arrived June 2.

Emergency medical personnel pronounced Butler dead. The report does not explain what happened before his death, how he was found or whether lifesaving measures were attempted. His cause and manner of death remain pending autopsy results.

Texas Medical Center police arrested Butler March 22 for assaulting a peace officer. He pleaded guilty April 14 and received a two-year sentence in Harris County’s 184th District Court, court records show.

In a separate case, Butler pleaded guilty March 10 to misdemeanor assault causing bodily injury and received 180 days in jail. He was initially charged with felony assault on a security officer.

State criminal history records show Butler also received a two-year sentence in 1999 and a four-year sentence in 2014 for assaulting a public servant. He was discharged from the latter prison sentence in January 2018.

Prison records listed Butler as eligible for parole June 14 and undergoing review, with no decision recorded. His projected release was in March 2028.
