| Chief Deputy Gus Reyna |
This past April eight deputies were fired for cheating on civil service exams allegedly under the direction of Human Resources Director Arnold Flores. Many wondered out loud if this was simply the way many sheriff's deputies have "qualified" for their jobs under Lucio.
Now, Chief Deputy Gus Reyna, has further disgraced the Cameron County Sheriff's Department by not reporting a two car automobile accident, involving substantial vehicular damage, allegedly occurring August 24 just off Pablo Kisel Blvd. in or near a restaurant parking lot.(We received an unconfirmed tip that Chief Deputy Reyna frequently enjoys libations at Chili's and Johnny Carino's Italian Restaurant.)
Reyna, accompanied by a close male friend, once employed by the sheriff's department, was driving a county vehicle, a 2011 Ford Expedition, when he reportedly collided with a vehicle driven by a 36 year old woman, also once employed by the sheriff's department. Neither operator reported the accident, as required by law in accidents with physical damage exceeding $500. Juan Montoya of El Rrun Rrun blog reported the damage to both vehicles exceeded $7,000. As a sheriff's department employee, Reyna is required to submit to a drug and alcohol screening within two hours of the accident as required.

“After 30 years of service, I believe this disciplinary action was firm and just,” Lucio said. “We went over all the policies for the sheriff’s office. He was appointed by me and not a civil service.”

“I have submitted a list of questions asking for clarification in this matter over issues that could be potential violations to county policy,” stated Flores.
We've been given the name of the young lady allegedly involved in the accident, but we'll wait for confirmation from Human Resources Director Flores.
Don't expect Arnold Flores to do anything but cover up. He's in survival mode.
ReplyDeleteI disagree ..you are just a hater. .Arnold is a dignified county employee. Get over it
DeleteI agree, His wife, Christina Flores, city of Brownsville human resources employee, protects many within the city when employees complain. Oscar Salinas is right next to her. If he and hiswife were "by the book," nepotism would be removed since she is responsible for it.
DeleteLucio seems to be saying that Reyna is above the law. Doesn't he still have to follow state law, whether he's a direct Lucio appointee or not?
ReplyDeleteLucio is "not here" we all know who the real sheriff is been in last 4-5 years..... Hello.
DeleteThose bastard do as they please, as they know no one would make them pay for. ...
DeleteWhat do you mean by "close male friend" Jim? Spit it out!
ReplyDeleteIs the friend gay?
DeleteIs Reyna gay?
DeletePolice are looking for three people accused of beating a man, 65, unconscious and robbing him early Monday on the East Side. Jose Botello Ramirez told police he was pumping gas in the 1100 block of Paredes Line Road at 5 a.m. When he saw two men drawing near. After that, Ramirez did not remember what happened, according to a police report.
ReplyDeleteSecurity camera footage showed Ramirez "making a hand gesture as if he didn't want trouble" when one of the men approached, according to the report. The unidentified man, however, began to "violently punch" Ramirez in the face and elsewhere on his body, the report states.
Ramirez was backed up against a wall when another man ran over from a black newer-model Chevrolet Impala or Malibu, police said. The other man began to punch Ramirez hard while the first one went through his pockets. Ramirez fell to the ground, but the men continued punching, kicking and stomping on him until he appeared to lose consciousness, police said.
A third person then pulled the two suspected robbers off Ramirez, and all three people drove off, according to police. Ramirez was taken to the hospital with injuries to his head, arms and left hand, according to police, who listed his condition as fair.
This is the same story published in the San Antonio express news website.
DeleteHe retired, and was rehired 30 something days later, so he is a new employee and should still be on probation.
ReplyDeleteYes, he's double dipping!!!
DeleteIn any event, he's on probation and should be fired. Period
He retired and was rehired 30 something days later, so I think that makes him a new employee and.should still be on probation.
ReplyDeleteHow do you say Mayberry is Spanish? Oh, wait it just came to me, Pendejoville.
ReplyDeleteIt's a shame that we may have to recruit a higher percentage of public servants from outside the Brownsville pool of nepotism; it always leads to corruption. We can't trust our own locals to serve honestly by upholding the laws prudently and fairly.
ReplyDelete"Neither operator reported the accident"
ReplyDeleteWhy??? Because she was either drunk, or coerced into keeping quited....
