Rio Grande City Manager and Police Chief Suspended With Pay Over Sexual Harassment and Retaliation

Rio Grande City, Texas

Rio Grande City officials are reacting to the suspensions of two city leaders. Rio Grande City's police chief B.A. Dutch Piper and city manager Juan Zuniga are suspended with pay. Both men are accused in a federal lawsuit.

Former city employee Cynthia Alanis is alleging the two city leaders made sexual advances toward her. She is also alleging the two men basically launched a smear campaign against her when she refused the advances. She says the city manager accused her of taking money from city coffers. She was charged. Those charges were later dropped.

We asked Rio Grande City Mayor Ruben Villarreal about the lawsuit. He wouldn't talk specifics. He says his hands are tied because this is a pending lawsuit. He is calling the lawsuit a concern.
