RIO HONDO, Texas — Rio Hondo City Manager Benancio “Ben” Medina has been arrested, authorities say.

Chief William Bilokury confirmed to ValleyCentral that Medina was taken into custody based on warrants for two counts of tampering with evidence with intent to impair and two counts of improper influence.
ValleyCentral reached out to Mayor Gus Olivares for comment on what these charges are in relation to.

However, Olivares declined to comment and referred any questions regarding Medina to the law firm of Denton, Navarro, Rodriguez, Bernal, Santee & Zech, P.C.

Medina remains jailed on his charges.

It is not the matter, if they did something illegal. It is the of, if they get caught.

Brownsville Police Chief "El Mesero" Sauceda and the rest of the department would like to thank the numerous tips that led to this arrest. Without your tips, investigators couldn't have made this case possible.

$200,000 grant to develop the project. this amount will renovate about 20 homes here in brownsville but they gave the money to friends and people that don't need the money and will be used to renovate it to a party house for themselves.
NOBODY BUT NOBODY VISITS THIS STINKING TOWN.

$200,000 grant to develop the project. YOUR PROPERTY TAXES AT WORK. WILL YOU BE INVITED TO ONE OF THEIR PARTIES? I DON'T THINK SO. OH BUT YOUR MONEY WILL BE USED FOR THEIR PLEASURE.
BOLA DE MAMONES they don't care they already got your property tax monies.

Rio Hondo is like that...they do not accept outsiders. Easy to blame a person that was not born in Rio Hondo.

Rio Hondo...a depressing little shithole of a town; a poster child town for the Lone Star Card

Shocking because he always seemed like a very ethical person and very involved with the Knights of Columbus. IF he did something, then I can imagine his right hand person isn’t too far behind.

What tips did City of Brownsville get? When this happened in Rio Hondo. Also, a lot of smack being said when no one knows the truth. When all is settled you will laugh at the charges and at the real clowns that started this.
