AUSTIN (KXAN) — The Hays County Sheriff’s Office said it terminated a corrections officer Tuesday after he was arrested and charged with multiple felony offenses.
According to Guadalupe County jail records, 35-year-old George Jearld Snell, of New Braunfels, was booked on two counts of aggravated sexual assault of a child and two counts of indecency with a child involving sexual contact. Jail records showed he was held on a $2 million bond—$500,000 per charge.
HCSO said it was aware of the ongoing criminal investigation into Snell since August 2024. The charges against Snell stem from an alleged offense on Aug. 8, 2024, according to Guadalupe County jail records.
According to HCSO, Snell was hired in November 2022, and he served as a Hays County corrections officer until his termination.

The arrest of a Hays County Sheriff's Office employee for such a horrific crime is sickening and a betrayal of everything this badge stands for. I know this damages the trust our community places in us—and I don’t take that lightly. Let me be clear: there is zero tolerance for criminal behavior in this agency. Any employee who breaks the law, especially in ways as vile as this, will be held fully accountable.
First, to those of you who continue to serve with integrity, courage, and respect for the badge—thank you. You are the backbone of this agency, and we know that you represent the vast majority of our team. We see your dedication. We value your commitment to this community and to one another. I am proud to stand beside you and will continue to support you without hesitation.
If you're involved in criminal activity, leave now—because we will find you, expose you, and will prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law. From day one, I’ve made accountability and transparency my priorities, and that will not change. We are cooperating fully with investigators, and we will do everything necessary to ensure justice is served. No one is above the law, and protecting our community, especially our children, remains our highest duty.
