WITH HERALD WONDERING ABOUT TEREAU, HOW ABOUT ZAMORA?

By Juan Montoya
The local daily today featured a story wondering if, or when, the Cameron County District Attorney would decide whether to prosecute City of Brownsville Commissioner Jessica Tetreau-Kalifa on assault charges related to one of five cases of domestic violence field sicne she took office last year.
All the DA's office would say was that it hadn't "reached an agreement with the defendant in the case. The case is still pending."
The assault charge arose from a report of domestic violence Sept. 9 at the couple's new home on Greenfield Court. At the time, police reported that Tereau had assaulted her husband after she overhead her husband Arturo speaking to a passenger in his car about another woman unaware that his cell phone had not hung up.
He has since filed an affidavit saying eh does not wish to prosecute in the case.
However, since the case had been turned over to the DA's office, it will be for that office to make a determination on the matter. Tetrau-Kalifa insists she was the victim and claims that the fact that she called 911 and alerted the police proves it.
The commissioner has been the subject of frequent police reports in her troubled relationship with her spouse.
Another of her fellow commissioner members, Melissa Zamora, recently also made an appearance on a police report where she intervened in a police arrest on DWI charges of her friend Lupita Molina, a UTB-TSC media center employee. In her case, the police report indicates that she was talking to Molina even after she had been warned not to communicate with the suspect.
The report written by Patrolman Everardo Longoria, mentioned the fact that Zamora had disregarded his order and was heard screaming to Molina a second time through the closed windows of the police car.
However, Longoria, the brother of city commissioner Ricardo Longoria, did not identify the city commissioner in question. Zamora, however, in a Facebook posting, defended her actions and said Molina was her friend.
Zamora, an executive at Elite Promotions, is said to handle the promotional side of the re-election campaign of State Rep. Rene Oliveria. Molina was driving a car registered to Oliveira that was reported uninsured and that struck a Ford van with two people inside as it traveled on the frontage road in front of Charlie Clark's Nissan dealership along US 77-83.
At least two people have commented to blog reports that they saw Oliveria at the Cheddar's Restaurant a few minutes after the incident was reported in the business' restroom speaking on the cell phone and sweating profusely. It is unknown whether the tapes of the restaurant's surveillance cameras were reviewed by the Brownsville Police Department.
In hsi report Officer Longoria did not explain why no charges had been brought against Zamora for interfering with the arrest or disregarding the orders not to speak with Molina.
