Former Houston officer Gerald Goines has been transferred to the Navasota jail, records show

HOUSTON – Former Houston police detective Gerald Goines was transferred from the Harris County Jail to a TDCJ jail in Navasota, according to online records.

Goines was sentenced last week to 60 years in prison after being found guilty of murder in the deaths of Rhogena Nicholas and Dennis Tuttle.

Nicholas and Tuttle were killed in a drug raid in 2019.

Goines, a narcotics officer, lied to obtain the no-knock warrant.

Goines is the first law enforcement officer in Harris County to be convicted of murder while on duty.

Records show Goines, 60, is at the Wallace Pack Unit in Navasota, about 30 miles south of College Station.

He will be eligible for parole in September 2054.
