Weslaco Police Officer Arrested on DWI Charge With Open Container

Weslaco, Texas

Texas Department of Public Safety officials arrested a Weslaco police officer Friday on suspicion of driving while intoxicated.

Juan Antonio Abrego was given a field sobriety test at the Farm-to-Market Road 493 and Expressway 83 interchange, said Trooper Johnny Hernandez, a local spokesman for the state agency.

Abrego failed the test and was taken to Weslaco Police Department for a Breathalyzer test, which he refused.

Abrego was formally charged Saturday morning with driving while intoxicated with an open container, a Class B misdemeanor. If convicted, he could face up to 180 days in county jail and/or a fine of up to $2,000.
