Chief Roger Mangum declined to give details about the incident that led to Escobedo’s arrest, citing the pending criminal investigation. Mangum also said Escobedo, 32, will be the subject of an internal investigation into his alleged conduct.
”We’re letting the criminal investigation take precedence because I think that’s the most significant issue,” Mangum said. “We want to make sure that everybody understands that it’s being handled.”
KSAT has reached out to the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office for more information about the arrest, but officials did not immediately respond as of Monday.
