Baytown, Texas
The constable's deputy at the center of an abuse investigation in northeast Harris County has turned in his badge, and his boss says he's glad the officer is no longer on his force.
"I'm glad he did because I was looking at him hard," said Harris County Precinct 3 Constable Ken Jones.
In June, a pizza shop worker had six stitches in his chin and he complained that all his teeth had moved inside his mouth. He also said he lost hearing in one ear after being arrested by a deputy following a police chase.
Julian Juarez, 21, said, "This is a bad cop."
After he was cuffed, a fellow deputy told department supervisors that he heard a loud thud and found Juarez on the ground.
The original charges filed against Juarez, accusing him of felony evading arrest, were dismissed within hours of the abuse investigation being launched.
"I felt like there was more to it," said Constable Jones. However, today he said the deputy has resigned and so the investigation is closed.
The constable did not provide the deputy's name, but said he had been with the department for more than 16-years. He left to take a private sector security job, according to the constable.
