Corporal suspended indefinitely following arrest, alleged assault



Past coordinating article:  http://smmercury.com/2013/07/16/san-marcos-cop-faces-felony-rap-for-assaulting-woman-during-illegal-arrest/

Category: Policemen Suspended

Level: Local

Concerning: A problem/issue that individuals/families face

 

Views:  My heart goes out to Alexis for having to go through this. As a citizen of San Marcos, I have had only good experiences with the cops around town and on the square. After reading this article I looked up the article that had been posted when the incident had first occurred. I was in awe that this would happen to a girl just walking down the street along the square a lot like most legal Texas State students do. I had read that he was suspended with pay while the investigation was under way. This upset me the most because of the fact that he did this horrible thing to an innocent girl and basically got a paid vacation for three months during the investigation. To now know that he has been fired is reassuring and I am sure once hearing this news that Alexis is relieved as well. Our policemen and women are there to protect us, and enact the laws. For an officer to act in this manner towards a citizen is absolutely ridiculous and his end punishment is deserved but I think there should be more done than a firing. I think that he deserves jail time. If someone who was not an officer acted in the way they would for sure be sent directly to jail. I am just in hopes that Alexis will file a lawsuit against him.
