SAN ANTONIO — An off-duty Bexar County Sheriff's Deputy was arrested and charged with DWI early Sunday morning, according the Bexar County Sheriff's Office.
Investigators say Arnold Juarez Gomez, 35, was arrested around 3:00 a.m. along State Highway 151 after a traffic stop.
Gomez has been placed on administrative leave during the investigation.
Officials said the deputy was with the Detention Bureau and is a 12 year veteran with the Sheriff's Office.
Sheriff Javier Salazar released this statement following the arrest:
"As an agency, we continue to send the clear message that this behavior, if founded, is completely unacceptable. Ongoing inservice training, preventive classes, training bulletins, roll call notices, literature, and email blasts are all currently being used to prevent DWI. Everyone has heard multiple times about the best methods to prevent and the consequences attached to unlawful behavior. I commend the deputy who professionally handled the stop/arrest and all BCSO employees who continue to work hard for this community."
