Wayne Dicky II Arrested Leaving Sister's Funeral Save Email Print

Last Friday, 15-year-old Alex Dicky of Bryan, was laid to rest. Dicky and two other teens died when their vehicle hit a tree in the early morning hours of August 3rd.

If that wasn't hard enough on the Dicky family, News Three has learned Alex's older brother Wayne was arrested leaving her funeral.

Judicial records show 21-year-old Wayne Dicky's driver's license has been suspended for at least 22 months.

In August of 2007, he was arrested on criminal trespassing charges, for an incident that allegedly occurred in April of 2007, in Brazos County. Criminal trespassing is a class A misdemeanor.

In December of 2007, a Brazos County Constable pulled Dicky over. He was arrested again for driving without a valid license.

In March of this year, Wayne Dicky II failed to appear in court for a hearing on the criminal trespass charge. A warrant was issued in his name with a bond set at $8,000.

He remained a fugitive until August 4th, the day after his sister's car wreck. The Brazos County Sheriff's Office says Dicky turned himself in.

Two days later, on August 6th, a Bryan police officer pulled Dicky over for speeding. Although Dicky's license was suspended and he was previously convicted for driving without a license, the officer gave Dicky a warning because of the extenuating circumstances.

Last Friday, Brazos County law enforcement officers who were attending Alex Dicky's funeral say they saw Wayne Dicky II behind the wheel twice- once as he arrived for the funeral, and another time as he drove in the funeral procession.

The Sheriff's Office says Dicky was arrested as he was getting in a car to drive away from the funeral.

He was charged with driving with an invalid license with a previous conviction or suspension, and bond was set at $20,000.

The Sheriff's Office says the bond company that wrote Dicky's bond on August 4th, rescinded it, and the $8,000 bond was reinstated.

Court documents show the county attorney's office requested Dicky's bond to be revoked and for Dicky to be held in jail pending the outcome of his case.

The 21-year-old was booked into the Brazos County jail and then moved to a jail outside the county, to ensure his safety. Wayne Dicky II is the son of Brazos County jail administrator Wayne Dicky.

Regardless of family ties, Sheriff Chris Kirk said his department "cannot enforce the law selectively."

To "Practicing Christian" and others who keep only qouting 'part' of the scriptures. Yes, Jesus tells us to love but God is also a God that demands justice. When Jesus forgave what did he normally tell that person? "Go and sin no more." I guess Wayne and you forgot that part of forgiveness and love that it requires responsibility on our part not to continue in that sin, if we do then judgement awaits. So, please go back and read the rest of the Bible as well not just the parts that you like.

The law did what they needed to do. If they didn't do it, people would say they were being choosy of who they arrest and when. No a funeral wasn't the best thing, but you don't know the entire story and what this young man did to law enforcement. He has no respect for himself or his family. I feel for them. But the parents have lost their child and now has to deal with him. Its a shame.

Posted by: Resident Location: Bryan on Aug 20, 2008 at 05:28 PM
TO JEFF: AUG 20TH 1:34pm I do NOT drive under the influence, I do NOT roll through stop signs and I do NOT speed. I have the driving record and the respect for laws to prove it. NO we should not be arrested for lack of respect, you see thats not against the law. Maybe Wayne was a friend of yours I do not know. What I do know id the only person who disrespected the family and the memory of his sister was Wayne. He had the option of riding with someone instead he decided to turn his nose up and flaunt it in front of these officers. No this is not a good person. Good people do not repeatedly break the law.

AMEN TO !!!! I think news like this is news for manybe a couple of days to let people voice their opinion. Then it becomes old. I have not stopped thinking and praying for this family. Surely there is a bigger story from TODAY!!!

Posted by: Jeff Location: College Station on Aug 20, 2008 at 01:34 PM
To all of the people who say he deserves what happened for his lack of respect for the law: You are hypocrites. You drive home under the influence. You speed. You roll through stop signs and run red lights. Should you not be arrested for your lack of respect? Whatever. You disrespected Wayne and his family and you think you have the means to justify it. BPD should be ashamed of itself.

Posted by: laura Location: iola on Aug 20, 2008 at 12:43 PM
first i want to say i feel sorry for the parents. A loss of child is hard. But on the other side all this could have been stop,such thing called tough love, you tell me that ya did not know his license wasnt revoke and ya did not know ya daughter was out that late,kids out that late doing things they should not be doing .About the license bit,if was me the officer would have arrested me and threw under the jail,The parents out there, remember this story when you let your kids do what ever they want,i trust my kids then i dont and my 15yrs old will not be out that late but the my opinion you dont have to agree to it

Posted by: domaco Location: bcs on Aug 20, 2008 at 11:46 AM
I am reading some of the comments in awe. Being arrested because the person is continuing to do the same offence over and over and over.........that is what we, as tax paying citizens, would demand out of our police force. Now, they do their job and we have people saying they should not have arrested him? He was seen driving too and then leaving, still driving from the funeral. He knew he was not supposed to be driving and he made the decision to do it any way. Had he not been driving, I promise he would have been left alone. People, he was breaking the law. BREAKING THE LAW. If he was wanted for murder, and arrested leaving his sisters funeral, is that wrong? What if this kid had hit and killed someone while leaving? Then we would have people saying that the cops didn't do their job by not arresting him. This isn't the first time he has been in trouble for driving without a license. It is a shame, but maybe he will learn this time. And Dad, where has dad been? He works for the p.d.????

It's all about a little compassion! Take this post down KBTX out of respect for the family! It has been discussed enough!

Posted by: Practicing Christian Location: B/CS on Aug 20, 2008 at 10:19 AM
Pray for this family - they do not need all of this. The Bible says: "A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another", John 13:34. So let's practice some of that.

CAN WE PLEASE TAKE THIS DOWN? I THINK EVERYONE HAS HAD PLENTY DAYS TO SEND IN THEIR OPINION. IT'S OLD NEWS NOW. MAIN THING IS THE YOUNG MAN HAS BEEN ARRESTED. HOPEFULLY HE'LL STRAIGHTEN UP, AND MAKE HIS PARENTS HAPPY. GOD KNOWS THEY DON'T NEED ANYMORE TRAGEDY. SPARE THESE PEOPLE ALL THIS TALK ABOUT THEIR SON. THEY'VE BEEN THRU ENOUGH W/THEIR DAUGHTERS LOSS.

Why does everyone keep feeling sorry for this loser? (Linda). Would you still feel the same had he been involved in an accident on his way home from the funeral and an innocent person was injured or killed? Then you would be screaming,,," why didn't they arrest him earlier?" I am a compassionate person, and while it is very say that this has all happened to one family,,,we can't look the other way!! Honestly!!!

Posted by: come'on Location: Bryan on Aug 19, 2008 at 05:24 PM
this is for you TJ,,,give me a break,,,they arrested him AFTER the funeral at the funeral home,,,if they had waited until he was home,,they would probably still be waiting!! He had already proven that he could NOT be trusted to do the right thing. Had the done the RIGHT thing when he first got in trouble,,,this would be a non issue. Too bad it took his sister dying for him to be caught.

Posted by: Linda Location: Bryan on Aug 19, 2008 at 05:11 PM
I agree with the poster below, does everyone else who gets speeding tickets, etc, get put on the local news. He is not a dangerous criminal, and no, arresting him at his sisters funeral was about as low as it gets. This family has been thru hell and back and driving without a license, although not very smart, does not put him in the top 10 most wanted criminals. The arrest could have waited.

Posted by: City2Country Location: Bryan on Aug 19, 2008 at 04:45 PM
Those have to be some of the most ignorant, uninformed postings I have ever read. I think the police showed more restraint than usual and yes, it was probably professional courtesy, but in the end the young man had to be arrested. He had already displayed his disregard for the legal system and had no plans on meetings his obligations. Wayne Dickey is a good man, as is Chris Kirk. Bryan PD does the best they can, and let's stop bashing the BPD - I had an employee who hit a car at Northgate 4 months ago and drove off. Someone got her license plate number and CSPD went to her house and even though she hd been drinking and involved in a hit and run the police jsut left and told her "to be careful". So all PD's make calls as they see them. I hope the young Dickey gets whatever help he needs that may have caused 22 months suspension and I pray for teh Dickey family.

You are wrong, he was arrested as he was leaving the funeral, so he was still @ the cemetery. No where in this article does it say that he was taken back to the funeral home and arrested. Quote from the article above "The Sheriff's Office says Dicky was arrested as he was getting in a car to drive away from the funeral" Yes, it was wrong for him to be driving, and he should have rode with someone, but the police dept could have followed him home and arrested him out of sight of everyone else and not made a sideshow of it.

Posted by: Jv Location: Bryan on Aug 19, 2008 at 01:04 PM
Tj, Im with you on this one! This poor guy just lost his sister and 2 friends. Yes, it probably was wrong for him to be driving,he should have took a ride with someone else , but under the circumstances, I think the police dept could have handled it better. They could have waited just a little bit and not arrested him as he left the funeral.

To CopsDaughter: I was going to respond to your absurd e-mail but then I read on and realized other posters had already pointed out the absurdity of your post. I will tell you though that I am actually not a moron, I have a Ph.D. and am a licensed psychologist. It's interesting that you call yourself a cop's daughter and then write these words about the police: "Goes to show how cold hearted ALOT of police officers are! All they are are people with big ego's who were probably bullied in school,so being a cop now makes 'em somebody! HA! Give me a freaking break!" Sounds to me like you and your cop parent could use a little family counseling.

Posted by: TJ Location: Bryan on Aug 19, 2008 at 11:14 AM
To anonymous 8/19 ...so you think they just had to arrest him; yes he was in the wrong but he had just lost his sister and maybe he was pretty upset about that!!! I still think it was WRONG to arrest him ..the Bryan PD could have done it differently and I stick to my comment! You may have done it the same way ...but I have a little compassion! I think it was wrong to arrest him at a funeral; it should have been done at his home after the funeral...it's not like they couldnt have found him...they could have followed him home for goodness sake? and NO I did not read the earlier article...sorry!

To Annonymous..... I have a right just like everyone else to express my opinion. OPINION!!!! That is just what it is. I DO NOT need to stay off of here. I never said anyone was talking about my childrens fathers.... Did I???? If you will look at all the comments then you will see that some people agree with you and others dont. Deal with it. And just remember that EVERYONE is entitled to their opinion. You dont have to be mean or hateful just because you dont agree

People seem to hold children of law enforcement & ministers to a higher standard. If being in those two professions meant having perfect children, we would all be police officers and ministers. I have known the family for some time, & Wayne's parents have tried to do the best they knew how to make him fly right. Wayne is 21, an adult, old enough to know that actions have consequences. He made his own mess, he needs to clean it up! You also can't help someone who doesn't want to help himself. At this point the only person who can help Wayne is Wayne. He probably doesn't even care he is in jail. If the death of your younger sister isn't going to be a wake up call about how to live your life, then I don't know what will! You can bet his parents are not holding their heads up high saying "That's our boy!" This event is just one more frame in the horror movie they are living! It's such a shame to see he has turned out this way! He was a sweet kid when he was younger.

Posted by: Aggie12 Location: Walton Hall on Aug 19, 2008 at 08:37 AM
I agree with the Doctor and Cops Wife, this guy needed to be arrested. He had already proven he could not be trusted to do the right thing. Anyway, I know that law enforcement officials make arrest at funerals, weddings and other family events of criminals because they know it is a good posibility that the person they are after will show up. Good job BPD!

Posted by: Katrina C Location: Wellborn on Aug 19, 2008 at 08:12 AM
I feel bad for the family, but this man got what he deserved. He could have easily had went to the funeral with a family member and didn't. I honestly think that the PD were quite fair to Wayne II, the COULD HAVE arrested him right on the spot as soon as they noticed him, but they let him attend the funeral.

Posted by: Anonymous on Aug 19, 2008 at 06:23 AM
" think it's sad that they arrested him at his sisters funeral...they could have at least went to his home afterward and put the cuffs on him..." Didn't you read the article? They COULD have arrested him when they first saw him arrive at the funeral, but they DIDN'T. If he'd left the car and went home with somebody else, they probably WOULD have let it slide, but when he got in his car to LEAVE, they HAD TO act, or they would have been held legally and morally responsible for any accident that he might have caused.

I bet the people who live on his street are glad that law enforcement got him off the street. I would not like to have to pass him coming and going everyday.

It is unfortunate that the young Mr. Dickey continues to break the law and chose to do so once again at this particular time. I stand behind the officers and their decision, as this is what needed to be done. My prayers go out to the family and that this young man can seek help.

Posted by: Anonymous on Aug 18, 2008 at 04:50 PM
He was not arrested at the ceremony. He was escorted back to the funeral home after the ceremony and was then arrested. It is not like the officers were doing it without respect for the family.

Posted by: Anonymous on Aug 18, 2008 at 04:06 PM
While it is very sad that this happened on the day this dunb@$$'s sister funeral was held, the arrest was warranted and the officer did the right thing. In all honesty the officer that let him go a couple days before was doing the wrong thing, Dicky should have been arrested then. How many of the general public are checked for warrants then let go because of pity? If Jr. was so worried about the stress to his poor parents, why didn't he take care of this earlier? I'll tell you why..... because he is a selfish little punk who thinks himself above the law.

Posted by: Anonymous Location: Bryan on Aug 18, 2008 at 04:01 PM
To Tonya Bridges: Girl you need to stay off here. This is not all your babies Daddies we're talking about. This is a sad situation but this guy did not follow the law. The police did what they had to do! Thay can't enforce the rules when they think the timing is right, they have to do it consistently. Obviously this guy did not care what the circumstances were. It is always a possibility that when you run from the law, you just might get the hammer when you least expect it. I do feel for the entire family including Wayne but because of his neglect his parents had to mourn the loss of a daughter without the comfort of their son. That is what is SAD!

Posted by: LW Location: Bryan on Aug 18, 2008 at 03:48 PM
Cudo's to the law enforcers, if other enforcment had been able to stop a driver before the sisters wreck this would have a different direction.

Wayne is a good kid that is just lost right now. He needs support and mentors to help him find his self worth. He has gone through hell with his family situation over the past few years. He needs God in his life and some of the same people that put him him in jail to help him to help himself! Stop the bashing and start praying for this kid! LET HE WITHOUT SIN CAST THE FIRST STONE! God will judge us all in the end!

Posted by: theDoctor Location: Bryan on Aug 18, 2008 at 03:04 PM
Cop's Wife and Help Wayne are correct. While it was sad that this guy was arrested at his sister's ceremony it was the right thing to do. We need to stop pampering children and let them learn hard lesson in life WHEN THEY BRING THEM ON THEMSELVES! I would be the first one to stick up for my child but not if he is a repeat offender. Not when his bad actions could lead to the death of another person. Maybe this Wayne will learn from this. I hope his dad does too.

Posted by: He can only blame his self Location: Bryan on Aug 18, 2008 at 02:28 PM
Wayne Dicky did this to himself. He only has himself to blame. He knew that his license as suspended, so ....Yes, it was bad to do arrest him @ his sisters funeral. but he only has himself to blame.

I am praying for this family in their time of grief, but at the same time.. it seems this poor family needs to check thier priorities and look at the influences on these youngsters lives. Where are they learning all this from?. Seems as though.. this party is not the first time they have had a brush with the law. Am wondering if the authorities are looking at the brother for providing the alcohol. Would be a good place to start.

Over the last few weeks people ragged on Bryan police department of not doing their jobs. Why didn't they do this and they should have done that.. Well know they have done what the law requires and you STILL complain. If the guy broke the law he needs to pay the price. There is never a "good" time to be arrested. It is very sad it had to be done at his sisters funeral. You can't tell me he did not know the consequences of his actions(crimes).

Anon:You need to check with your family of law enforcement. The may be involved in Criminal acts. If you turn a person out in a car with no driver license then you the officer and the department are civilly responsible if they have an accident. You will be fired from any progressive police dept. For civil liability concerns and for furthering a criminal act. It is clear you have not worked in law enforcement. Check the arrest records you will see that in College Station any time an unlicensed driver is stopped that person is arrested. Do you honestly think that an officer is going to give up his income to help one AVG. person who is breaking the Law and endanger other.

Posted by: To The Cop's Daughter Location: College Station on Aug 17, 2008 at 01:10 PM
Why didn't you drive him to the funeral? This whole thing is all YOUR fault! If you would have driven him to the funeral he never would have been arrested. Some friend you are!

Posted by: Anon Location: Bryan on Aug 17, 2008 at 10:00 AM
I come from a family of law enforcers. I have even worked in the field myself. I also have known persons that get stopped without a driver's license that only get a ticket. Wayne should have not driven. He should have also not went this long on outstanding warrants. I also think that the news media needs to be more selective in what is news. This family has been through hell and needs to be left out of the news. The judge's of this county really need to take a look at the punishments, bonds, etc. that they are handing out. Yes, you have control of this.

Posted by: No Fault but his own Location: Bryan on Aug 17, 2008 at 09:34 AM
Do any of you get the facts before you speak? Wayne has not yet realized that he is all his parents have left and I have to wonder if he cares. There are a few people that tried to help him just so that he could attend his sisters funeral. Officers tried to help him. What thanks do they get and what respect does he give his parents? He drives to the funeral and burial knowing his license is no good. THe officers know his license are no good. Seems to me that he has flipped everyone off and refused their help. I hate that he does not have more respect for himself or his parents to straighten up and fly right. In this case there is no one to blame but Wayne himself. He can not get special treatment because of who he is. If that were the case there would be more people in trouble. The right thing was done here he should have got a ride with someone else. May God be with his family.

Posted by: REF: Help Wayne on Aug 17, 2008 at 09:30 AM
The only person that can help Wayne is Wayne himself. When he hits rock bottom and quits telling himself thats its everyone else's fault and wakes up and say's you know what I am the only one that can change this situation until then it's all Wayne's fault and no one else's. Good job to the officer's that arrested him for violating the law.

When WOULD be a good time and place to arrest somebody who basically says "Nah NahNah NahNahNah, I'm breaking the law and you can't stop me!!!" He KNEW he didn't have a license, he KNEW officers escort the funeral procession, he knew THEY were aware he had no license. I assume that other family members were there who COULD have driven him to and from service and allow him to pay his respects. But he decided to flaunt his total contempt for the rules instead.

To CopsDaughter: First of all where did you go to school? Obviously, English is not one of your strong points. I don't believe for one second that you have a parent in law enforcement. You don't like police officers because they are everything you wish you could be. To: HelpWayne, That was very well said. Someone should have said that a long time ago. Think of the outcome if the police would have allowed this unlicensed driver to get behind the wheel. He could have caused an accident and killed someone. Those officers that allowed him to drive would have been sued before the victims were in the ground. They would have also been in the unemployment line. The officer that let him go the day after this tragic accident was more than generous. He really stuck his neck out for this young man. Apparently, his kindness was mistaken for weakness.

Anytime someone is stopped without a drivers license they are arrested. It is not legal to have a car driven by someone without a license. This is the case in most places but here. Just try driving without a license anywhere else in Texas and get caught. You will be arrested and your car impounded.

"But like alot of places, if you stay in college station too long, it'll get the best of you! Its too bad for the family that all this has fallen on them." Thats a bullsh%$ excuse. I lived in BCS from the time I was 10 until I was in my 30's. I never got arrested, never lost my license, never had a warrant out for my arrest. And I'm not alone. Don't blame the environment, blame the family for not busting his a$$ the first time he got in trouble.

Why is Wayne Dicky still employed by Chris Kirk?

Posted by: richard Location: cs on Aug 16, 2008 at 03:19 PM
i don't care who he is or who he is related to, but how many other guys get caught for same things with history and do not make front page. talk about kicking this family when they are already down, way to go for the jugular, kbtx. the guy is an idiot but does he deserve this much attention?

Posted by: laura Location: cs on Aug 16, 2008 at 03:15 PM
My question is: Why was his license suspended in the first place??? Too many DWIs???

HAHA, and the corruption of Brazos County continues. Remember the old tax collecter Buddy Winn's son. Same old same old.

I have no idea what caused the jump from driving without a license to contributing to minors, but some of you really like the exercise. Wow.

Way to put your 2-Cents in Captain Kirk. Thats too bad for Wayne. In highschool he was always a good, quiet kid who seemed to keep to himself most of the time. But like alot of places, if you stay in college station too long, it'll get the best of you! Its too bad for the family that all this has fallen on them. Straighten your ass up Wayne! You're about all your parents have left.

I feel sorry for the loss in the family, but this Wayne Dicky II guy is an idiot. Plain and simple. He should be thrown in jail just for his complete lack of respect for the law. Geez...

When I first saw the headline, I thought, "Wow - kinda mean to arrest someone at a funeral." But after reading the story, I am grateful to the police for getting this guy off the road. I am sorry for the loss of his sister, but this guy obviously has no respect for the law. Good job, BPD.

Wayne apparently needs this broken down for him in simple language. Here goes: Wayne, do not drive. Do not drive. Do not drive. Do not drive. You do not have a license. You do not have a license. You do not have a license. Show up for court when it's scheduled. Show up for court when it's scheduled. Show up for court when it's scheduled. Got it now? I don't know if you're stupid, an alcoholic, or simply a person who thinks he's above the law, or what. Since you don't care or can't remember these simple rules, why don't you ask your friends and family to remind you daily.

***Regardless of family ties, Sheriff Chris Kirk said his department "cannot enforce the law selectively."*** Is that not what has happened several times already?

I suppose if you have bad kids you can work for the police departments to keep you kids out of jail. I did it the hard way, I tought my kids to behave themselves and they all stayed out of jail.

Posted by: Want to know Location: Bryan on Aug 16, 2008 at 10:12 AM
How did he remain a fugitive from justice for 22 months and his dad being the jail administrator for Brazos County. Maybe I just answered my own question. My heart goes out to the family. May God give them strength.

Why don't you look at other bookings. Lots of people show to be in jail for a short period of time. It is possible to make bond very fast, it is done all the time. Quit trying to bad mouth someone when you don't know the facts.

Posted by: LJ Location: Bryan on Aug 16, 2008 at 09:24 AM
If this had been anyone else, it probably wouldn't have even made the news. Don't you think that poor family is going through enough right now?? Leave them alone! Shame on you KBTX!

How tragic for the family, but what was he thinking as well.

Posted by: Anonymous Location: College Station on Aug 16, 2008 at 08:25 AM
The times he was arrested twenty or so minutes later were when he turned himself in and when he only had class c warrants for traffic violations. I don't see any conspiracy considering he had probably already made arrangements to get out when he turned himself in and he probably just paid the tickets for the minor things.

these kids must think the law just doesn't apply to them because their father is in law enforcement. I commend the SO for taking this kid in... sounds like he's a repeat offender and will continue to be. They gave him a chance and he messed that up, so this is the consequence. These parents have enough on their plate w/the death of their daughter and the investigation surrounding that -- now they've got their son in jail. Way to make your parents proud, kid.

Let this family mourn in peace!!! The whole family just lost a young daugheter, and Wayne just lost a sister. You let people wih stupid charges like DWLS sit and rot in jail while you let a man with 2 felony child abuse charges and 2 felony cocaine charges (all in a years time) out on a smaller bond, and just give them 90 serve time on the second felony child abuse charge. The jails are already overcrowded and murderers, child abusers and drug dealers are out running the streets while the police are locking up people for stupid charges. Who runs the state of Texas???????

Posted by: Biff Location: College Station on Aug 16, 2008 at 02:58 AM
I am in complete agreement that he should go to jail without his father interfering, but to arrest him at his sisters funeral, that is pretty low. If there was one time that he should have been given a warning, that was the time. He was obviously thinking the same thing to drive in front of all those officers. Give him a break this one time, after the grieving is over, then arrest him.

Posted by: What? Location: Bryan on Aug 16, 2008 at 12:45 AM
I understand that Dicky had warrants, but arresting him leaving his sister's funeral? I for one, think that is uncalled for. There is a time and place to serve outstanding warrants. At your sister's funeral is not one of them.

Posted by: Anonymous on Aug 15, 2008 at 11:52 PM
If it is not special treatment in the past on some of the arrests. How could anyone be arrested and let out in approx 22MIN a few times. The police do not even have time to do the paper work. Ck BCSO Jail booking web site. Why even put it in the news if something is not going on?
