On December 5- around 9pm, I learned one of my deputies was arrested by McAllen police on charges of theft and official oppression. Mr. Moctezuma was hired on February 12, 2019 and was terminated Thursday. He was a probationary deputy. He is married and has a child on the way he is a military veteran. My preference has always been to hire current or former military, and it will continue to be my preference. I cannot answer for the allegations he is facing. He put himself in that position and he will have to face those allegations that are being raised against him. He was a role model deputy. Mr. Moctezuma’s allegations do not reflect the type of person, as we knew him here, he had no disciplinary issues with the Cameron County Sheriff's office.
