The Texas rapper who had been branded a “coward” by police after allegedly striking and killing a sergeant while fleeing a traffic stop in the Houston area last week has been taken to court -- in her handcuffs.

Janet Ballard, who has been with the Tennessee- based chain for more than a decade, was enjoying a typical day at work Wednesday when she was assigned a table of 12 for lunch.

Texas Rapper Accused Of Killing Officer Arrested, Brought To Court In Slain Sergeant's Handcuffs
BOSTON -- A man con- victed of stabbing two doctors to death in their luxury Boston condominium was sentenced Friday to life in prison without parole.
Bampumim Teixeira, 33, requested not to be in the courtroom when the sentence was handed down because he said he wouldn't control him- self.
Instead, he observed from another room via video while surrounded by armed court of- ficers.
He will serve two consecu- tive life sentences at the state's maximum security prison in Walpole for killing Drs.
Richard Field and Lina Bolanos in May 2017.
Teixeira declined to ad- dress the court, but the victims' families gave impact state- ments.
Bolanos' mother, Ana Delia Vergara, talked about the 38- year-old pediatric anesthesiol- ogist's passion for medicine and her deep love for Field, a 49-year-old anesthesiologist.
Field's brother, Jason Field, delivered a tearful speech in which he described his brother as his “life adviser and best friend," the best man at his wedding and his room- mate in college. He called Teixeira a “monster.”

But now police officials are fuming that a judge set Hen- derson’s bond at $150,000 during a court appearance Thursday night.
“A Police Sgt dead, suspect
on the run for couple days, my team and our law enforcement partners do a phenomenal job locating & taking him into cus- tody without incident -- I sim- ply do not understand his initial bond set at $150,000,” Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez tweeted.
