WHAT HAPPENS IN RACY SAN BENE, STAYS IN SAN BENE...




Special to El Rrun-Rrun

The Resaca City is buzzing with speculation about what really happened this past Sunday morning involving David Lee Sanchez, husband of San Bene City Commissioner Carol Sanchez.

Apparently, there was some altercation with the commissioner's father at the couple's residence that resulted in the local gendarmes being called to the home after shots were heard, allegedly fired by the husband at his father-in-law.

Fortunately, no one was hit, reports indicate.

However, David Lee apparently fled before the coppers got there but turned himself in Monday and was booked into the county hoosegow after his arrest by the San Benito cops.

But there hasn't been a peep from the San Bene Police Chief or anyone in the city administration.

Carol Sanchez - if you will remember - is the sister of Moises Sanchez, who was charged in 2015 with three counts of sexual crimes against children. One was a first-degree aggravated sexual assault of a child and the two others were second degree felonies of  indecency with a child though sexual contact.

The cases ended up in the 404th District Court where Judge Elia Cornejo-Lopez eventually ended up  dismissing them on February 2018. At the time the San Bene commissioner was said to have been induced by Cornejo-Lopez to run against Laura Betancourt for County Court-at-Law #2. 

Apparently there was bad blood between Betancourt and Cornjeo-Lopez when the latter spoke out against the district judge's complaint that her daughter had been graded unfairly before the board of the Brownsville Independent School District. Sanchez's candidacy against Betancourt was seen as a way for Cornejo-Lopez to get back at the county court-at-law judge for countering her complaint.

Never a dull moment in little San Bene, is there? What will we hear next?

A lot or people get arrested on felony charges and that alone doesn’t make them a bad person. What is in question is why was this all kept quiet ? Was it cause he is the husband of a San Benito Commissioner and was given special privileges not given to all ? I remember a few years back a wife of a justice of the peace in San Benito was arrested for disorderly conduct and her mug shot was all over the media for all to see. I think favoritisms is thriving in el san benito and ain’t gonna stop anytime soon. Remember San Benito UNITED AND PROUD. AND KEEP AUSTIN WEIRD.

If I ever get arrested for felonies I want Carol Sanchez as my court appointed attorney and I want it heard in the 404th with the honorable judge Elia Cornejo.

El pinche san bene news wouldn't even run a story on it? Bola de chickens! I think that Richard Uribe, the white city commissioner from Harlingen better be careful now that he has opened a restaurant in san bene? First, he need to pay his "hot checks" to the merchants in san bene before he get racked over his own grill!
