San Antonio Police Officer And Former Union Treasurer Gets Prison Term For Embezzling Money

San Antonio, Texas

Police Officer and former police union treasurer Clifford Morgan, 46, will see the criminal justice system from the wrong side of the bars.

Authorities say the former city police union treasurer, Officer Morgan, ripped off colleagues over a four year period. As part of a plea deal, Morgan has been sentenced to five years. Also, Morgan has agreed to never apply for another law enforcement job after his release. That's important, prosecutors say, noting that too many counties allow disgraced "gypsy cops" to start over elsewhere.

Austin Police Officer Involved In Fatal Shooting Scandal and Fired For DUI, Reinstated By Arbitrator, Now Fired Again

Austin, Texas

In an earlier post, was a report of an Austin Police Officer who, after being involved in a fatal shooting scandal and drunk driving, was fired - but re-instated by arbitration. Well, he has been fired again. The official story:

                                            
Officer Leonardo Quintana was fired Wednesday after an internal investigation into an alleged October 2009 domestic disturbance call at his ex-fiancee's suburban Austin home.

A grand jury had declined to indict Quintana in the fatal shooting of 18-year-old Nathaniel Sanders II during a struggle. Police Chief Art Acevedo fired him in May after Quintana's arrest in an unrelated drunken driving case.

Baytown Deputy Constable Accused Of Abusing Handcuffed Prisoner Turns In His Badge

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.
