Deputy Richard “Ricky" Tijerina Jr., was arrested Sunday on charges of assault following a fight with his brother.

Sheriff Mark Donaldson said both Tijerina and his brother, Timothy Tijerina, were arrested after a fight between the siblings, but he is more concerned for Ricky Tijerina’s mental well-being than the cut he received above his eye that required stitches.

According to the Sheriff, he thinks the behavior is a result of Tijerina’s injury from a recent stand-off. He suggests the condition is similar to post traumatic stress disorder.

The 29-year-old deputy is charged with class A misdemeanor assault -- causing bodily injury (family violence) and has been released on a personal recognizance bond.
