Ok, that is indeed sickening if the allegations are true.
**Note** I am so tired of reporters who feel the need to add "extras" when they report the news. WHy was this necessary??
"Wearing a light gray suit and matching reptile shoes, the 55-year-old Murphy arrived Monday evening at the Harris County Sheriff's Department where he was booked and released within 90 minutes."
Seriously, do I need to know that he was rocking 'gators??

I promise I won't take this personally as someone who is a reporter.
But descriptions are often encouraged in writing as a way to "humanize" the subject, as it were. When Mothra Stewart was on trial, I saw plenty of references to her big-bucks Hermes Birkin handbag.
On the other hand, I also see your point about gators.
