Houston Police accused of hiding open containers & threatening witnesses of cop's suspected DUI crash into bus

Houston, Texas

Police are investigating a controversial traffic accident involving an HPD officer and a school bus.

There are conflicting stories about who was to blame.

The unidentified sergeant was on his way to work in his pickup Wednesday when he collided with the bus in the 7900 block of Harrisburg in East Houston.

No children were on board.

An HPD spokesman said the bus driver ran a stop sign and caused the accident. But other witnesses said the officer was the one who ran a stop sign.

The bus driver said she thinks he'd been drinking.

"He smelled drunk and he had beer and wine opened in his car," Teresa Argueta said.

Other witnesses said officers at the scene threw a towel over the open containers and threatened to arrest anyone who took photos.

This is the problem. "Threatened to arrest those that told he had open containers". What a P-- so much corruption How in the world are we to trust and respect our officers. There are new stories everyday that confirm the publics suspicion. Hpd is nothing more than organized crime. I pray that this officer. Will be charged with DWI , that his file is exposed for all to see.....this is not his first offense I am sure. And fo those that he threatened. You should file a complaint and press charges for threatening you
