Now I don't know how things happen in your two or even three hot dog stand towns that you come from, but how did a story like this slide by in early September with no one asking all the obvious questions? I searched for a couple of weeks for follow up stories, then finally the other day, I found this.


Accused Texas Police Chief Is Fired

ALTON, Texas (Map, News) - The police chief in this southern Texas town has been fired weeks after he was accused of sexually assaulting two male employees.
Jose Luis Vela was suspended after his Aug 29. arrest on two charges of sexual assault. Three more current and former police department employees have since accused Vela of sexual harassment.
City Manager Jorge Arcaute fired Vela Friday for poor record keeping and possible theft of confiscated items. He said allegations surfaced accusing Vela of stealing alcohol confiscated by his department.
Vela said he never took confiscated beer, nor was he involved in logging items. He is out on bail and plans to plead not guilty to the charges.
Investigators have accused Vela of performing oral sex on a male employee after the man passed out drunk at a party about a year ago at Vela's home in Mission, according to court documents. Vela is also accused of violating a different male employee with an object while that man was passed out at a party in July, Sheriff Lupe Trevino said.
Alton is a town of about 4,400 residents, located 10 miles north of the Mexican border in the Rio Grande Valley.

Texas Department of Insurance Issues Top Ten Fraud List
April 18, 2006

9. Jose Vega, a former Texas Peace Officer, filed a claim with his insurer for $7,790.50 in items stolen during a burglary of his residence. The burglary never happened and the items were not stolen. Vega received five years deferred adjudication, was ordered to complete 260 hours of community service, and was ordered to pay $7,790.50 in restitution. In addition Vega was ordered to surrender his peace officer license to the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement Officer Standards and Education.

So this guy, who had already lost his cushy state job, and was relegated to a two burro border town, likes to blow off some steam by getting drunk on Friday night and throw the lubbin'into his passed out deputies. Questions??? Damn right.

1) While these yahoos are partying and getting their freak on, how many people can be manning the fort in a town of 4,000
2) How many boxes of cracker jacks did this man have to buy to get another badge?
3) How exactly did it come up in casual office conversation that you had passed out and woke up with your boss wiping your goo off his chin. "Oh yeah? Me too!!".
4) Why didn't he just go and hang out at rest stops or airport washrooms like any normal, upstanding american.

So remember the next time your boss invites you over to his place for a party on Friday night, launch into your best crotch scratching fit and and tell him you would if you weren't dealing with alot of leakage from your burning haemorrhoids.
