Two Bexar County Deputies Resign After Off‑Duty Arrests
Resignations halted the sheriff’s office employment process and left criminal investigations to local police.
Overview
- A deputy resigned after Bexar County Sheriff’s Office deputies arrested her on a warrant charging tampering with a government record; the agency says the alleged conduct took place before she joined the office.
- The Laredo Police Department is handling the criminal investigation into the tampering allegation while the deputy left BCSO in lieu of termination.
- A second deputy was arrested on a family‑violence assault charge and also resigned in lieu of termination after being released on bond.
- BCSO said it will investigate the assault allegations but will not open a separate internal employment probe into the second deputy because she is no longer on the payroll.
- Both resignations end internal disciplinary proceedings and could limit administrative accountability, raising questions about hiring screens and how agencies handle off‑duty misconduct.
