Cuero, Texas
DeWitt County Chief Deputy Sheriff John Oglesby has been suspended for two weeks without pay for his role in the misidentification and false arrest of a Victoria man late last month.
The victim in this case is Steven Rene Rodriguez, who was arrested by mistake on drug charges June 26. The charges were dropped July 14.
Oglesby, who has been chief deputy in DeWitt County since April 2008, offered his resignation to Sheriff Jode Zavesky.
"I refused his resignation. He was the case manager, and he took full responsibility," Zavesky said Thursday.
A veteran of more than 25 years in law enforcement, Oglesby was the former chief deputy in Matagorda County and was a former officer in the Houston Police Department.
