262nd Criminal District Court Judge Lori Chambers Gray set Javian Major’s bond at just $10,000 last year. Despite all the accusations against him, she has not raised a single penny.
Houston crime: Man accused of posing as funeral director in 2024 violates bond
There are customers of Major who claim they don’t know whether they have their loved one’s ashes or a stranger’s.
Major made headlines in 2024 for allegedly posing as a funeral director.
Police say he made grief worse for family members who didn’t know what had happened to their loved one’s remains.
Pamela Busby claims that on the day of her 27-year-old son’s funeral, his body was warm and blood flowed from his nose.
“It was horrifying,” she said. “I cry every day.”
Pamela has informed the 262nd District Court that Major appears to still be working in the funeral profession.
“I’m in the court with the judge, she told him don’t do any funerals,” said Pamela. “I’m thinking he thinks it’s a joke.”
Major was formerly a wanted fugitive.
“After Major was charged, then he got out on bond, and then he failed to appear in court,” said Andy Kahan with Crime Stoppers. “He was on the run, he was brought back.”
In addition to being released on bond, Major is serving three years of probation after pleading guilty to marijuana possession in Louisiana.
Pretrial services just informed the court that they cannot monitor Major’s tracking device.
Why you should care: Although the judge has the authority to revoke Major’s bond and imprison him or to increase his bond amount, she has taken no action against him.
