SAN ANTONIO — A Bexar County Sheriff's Office patrol sergeant was arrested on suspicion of driving while intoxicated and placed on administrative leave, according to a news release.
BCSO says Houston Pons, 43, was off duty when he was taken into custody by San Antonio Police at 2 a.m. Thursday on the Loop 410 access road.
BCSO says he was issued a noticed of proposed dismissal and placed on unpaid administrative leave.
"Although this agency has made great strides with regard to arrests for misconduct, it’s clear we still have some work to do. I maintain a strict disciplinary stance on this issue, so the swift and severe consequences for his actions should come as no surprise to this employee," Sheriff Javier Salazar said.
