MORE BROWNSVILLE COPS BEHAVING BADLY, HIT-AND-RUN

(Ed.'s Note: At first we didn't believe that a member of Brownsville's Finest was arrested by the troopers of the Texas Department of Public Service and charged with a hit-and-run of a vehicle instead of a DUI as we were first told. We have been corrected. Well, we started looking and there it was. Patrolman Reynaldo Rios, who was sworn in on January 25, 2018, is said to be currently placed on administrative leave pending an investigation by the department.

He was assigned to the Patrol Division.

This has been a bad week for the image of the BPD. This past Thursday, officer Diane Ortiz (AKA Martinez, Cuevas) resigned following her arrest for multiple charges of theft from Walmart and Target. She had been at the BPS for more than 20 years before the spate of arrests for shoplifting force her resignation. She was charged with stealing $42 worth of goods from Walmart, just $8 under the felony theft charge level of $50 . Can we expect any more cases of these malcriados wearing a badge?)
