SHERIFF DEPT. DISPATCHER NABBED FOR DWI, GARZA STEPS IN

(Ed.'s Note: Before the Democratic Party primary between former Cameron County Sheriff Omar Lucio and eventual winner Eric Garza, Garza's followers delighted in leaking out information about some of 

Lucio's underlings getting arrested for various infractions, including DWIs, soliciting prostitutes, and other infractions.

Well, the shoe is on the other foot now. 

We've heard about his chief deputy Gracia's antics even before he was a county employee, his lack of TCOLE certification, jail troubles, riots, etc., And they complained that some judges had released them after they found out they were sheriff department employees.

Now one of his dispatchers – 43-year-old Melissa Abrego of San Benito – was arrested for DWI by the Laguna Vista Police Dept. at about 12:27 a.m. Monday on Highway 100 and booked for the offense.

Well, guess what? It seems like Sheriff Garza himself called and interceded on her behalf and convinced  municipal judge Benny Ochoa III to allow her o be released on personal recognizance. Abrego was then released from custody and drove home to San Bene.

No favoritism, compadrismo here, hey? Or as Garza's supporters used to say, Everyone should be treated the same, not just because they are employees of the sheriff's department.

How much things change (the change we need?) and yet remain the same.

Arrested at 12:27 PM? Noon on a workday? Was she off, or did you mean 12:27 AM, after midnight?

Garza can, of course, intercede. Don't be naive, Montoya.

Report says she was arrested at 00:27, which is just after midnight, not PM as you had written.

Look, Montoya, so maybe she drank one too many (you know about that personally), but maybe she's a Mom. I'd have a problem if it had been some panson county employee. But do look deeper into it.

This was very much a conflict of interest on the new sheriff. What kind of message is he sending by intervening in a legal arrest? What favors has Melissa done or will do with him sticking his nose where it don't belong? Was she suspended with pay or without out? Was she terminated? Huh, in his demand respect speech and obey my orders from gracia? Melissa' actions went against gracia' demand for loyalty and should be terminated? Oh, it cameron county politics at its best! And nothing has changed for sure!
I'm surprised that Melissa didn't suck or lay on her back for her way out of this one?

Soooooo… JP David Garza from San Benito knows this bitch and keeps bailing her out. He called JP Ochoa to get her out on a PR bond. This girl is always at fucking bars!! I wouldn’t be surprised if she sleeps with JP Garza for free bail passes.
JP (Justice of the peace) What a scum bag! Corruption at its finest!
