| San Antonio Police Officer Roland Alvarado |
San Antonio, Texas
A trooper with the Department of Public Safety stopped San Antonio Police Officer Roland Alvarado and subsequently arrested him on a charge of driving while intoxicated.
The DPS, however, was not able to provide any specific details regarding the arrest.
Alvarado was taken to the Comal County Jail and released about three hours later, after posting a $2,500 bond, jail records show.
Alvarado, 43, was already on administrative leave from the police department since his arrest three months ago on a drunken driving charge.
He was taken into custody Feb. 11 after hitting a park car outside of a local club. Investigators at the scene said Alvarado smelled like alcohol and failed a field sobriety test.
It's unclear how the latest arrest will affect his career with the police department. A request for a statement from SAPD or an interview with Chief William McManus was not honored.
When contacted by phone, Michael Helle, president of the San Antonio Police Officers Association, said that he was "sad to hear about "the second arrest” and that Alvarado "has been having a rough time lately."
