Houston, Texas
A Houston police officer who was driving while intoxicated when he ran a red light and hit a car in Pasadena was charged Tuesday, according to court records.
Sgt. Roy Alexander Marquez, 37, a 10-year police veteran, has been suspended with pay, pending the outcome of an internal affairs division investigation, Houston Police Department spokeswoman Jodi Silva said.
Marquez, a member of HPD's traffic enforcement division which handles DWI investigations, was charged with driving while intoxicated and carrying a weapon in his car when he ran a red light at Red Bluff and Frontage Road, off of Beltway 8, about 1:10 a.m. Sunday, which was his birthday.
He received the gun charge because it is illegal to carry a handgun in a motor vehicle while engaging in criminal activity.
