BEXAR COUNTY, Texas — Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar provided details on Saturday regarding an overnight arrest involving an off-duty deputy.
Sheriff Salazar said that days ago, investigators intercepted phone calls from an inmate and a woman who were making plans for the woman to meet up with an off-duty deputy and exchange drugs.
Investigators found the woman leaving a fast-food restaurant on Callaghan Road on Friday around 9 p.m. As she was leaving the restaurant, they saw her going to a white vehicle near the property to make the exchange.
After the exchange, the vehicle drove off, but was later stopped by the BCSO special operations team. They found the driver was 20 -year-old Isaiah Palomo, who was a probation deputy.
Salazar said he was found with cocaine in the vehicle and arrested. Palomo has been fired and charged with possession of controlled substance, which is a 2nd degree felony. The woman was also arrested and charged with intent to deliver, which is a 1st degree felony. She has since been identified as 24-year-old Hollisha Janay-Lastar Nealy.
The inmate has been identified as 24-year-old Deandre Ross. BCSO says his charges include aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, evading arrest with a vehicle, possession with intent to deliver and parole violation.
