U.S. Rep. Ted Poe addressed the House floor Tuesday at 11 a.m. to speak about Beaumont police officer Bryan Mitchell Hebert, who was killed Friday night in the line of duty.

Poe's one-minute speech focused on the "black cloth of sacrifice" worn by law enforcement like Hebert.

"Officers like him protect the rest of us from killers like Nero," Poe said, referring to the suspect, John Wesley Nero, as a "scoundrel."

A funeral service for Hebert will begin at 11 a.m. Wednesday at the Beaumont Civic Center.

Previous reporting

As the week's routine police work starts up at Beaumont Police Department headquarters on College Street on Monday, officers will be engaged in the melancholy task of planning a funeral service.

Arrangements for everything from the venue, to accommodations and hospitality for out-of-town visitors need to be settled along with a host of small details and decisions to be made, said Chief Frank Coffin.

"We will be working on those logistics tomorrow," Coffin said in a telephone interview Sunday. "We are going to make sure all of our loose ends are tied up and we will get ready for the visitation on Tuesday and be ready to go with the service on Wednesday."

Bryan Mitchell Hebert, 36, died Friday after he was struck by a driver involved in a high-speed chase.

His funeral has been set for 11 a.m. Wednesday at the Beaumont Civic Center. Visitation will be held from 5 to 8 p.m. Tuesday at Broussard's in Nederland.






The officer was trying to lay out the spike strips, when this loon hit his patrol car head on, which the policeman was standing behind his patrol car with the trunk open and it caused his car to run over him. They were trying to apprehend him for assault of his mother and grandmother, right before this happened.
