AFTER DWI, LOPEZ ASKS FOR RESPECT OF OUR LEGAL PROCESSS

By Joey Lopez
Cameron County Pct. 2 Commissioner

"Last night I was arrested on a charge of DWI. I am deeply sorry. 

This matter is now part of an active legal process, and it would not be proper for me to comment on the details at this time. I respect the law and will fully cooperate as this matter moves forward. I have served this community my entire adult life, and I remain committed to the people of Cameron County.

I understand the concern that situations like this can create in our community. Public trust matters deeply to me, and I take seriously the responsibility that comes with serving in public office. I believe everyone deserves the opportunity to have the facts reviewed fairly. l recognize the seriousness of this situation, have a deep respect for our legal process, and ask you to withhold judgment until its conclusion. 

This past year has been one of the most difficult of my life following the loss of my wife. Losing her has been incredibly painful, and I continue to navigate that grief every day. 

During this time, I have been grateful for the compassion and support so many in our community have shown my family and me.

I also understand that during an election season situations like this can quickly become part of the political conversation and overshadow a lifetime of work.

Despite this situation, my love for Cameron County and commitment to serving its residents remain unchanged. I will continue focusing on the work that matters most to our community — improving infrastructure and drainage, strengthening public services, and addressing the everyday needs of the people I represent.

I remain deeply grateful for the support of this community and committed to serving Cameron County with integrity and dedication."

Politicking While Intoxicated

You should have called a Cab. To easy.

Wow. So I was an administrator 20 years in BISD, after being a spy in the military. Then I got arrested and fired for being hungover. I feel for Joey. I don’t think he should have to go through this. His daughter is a board member. What a fake B. But it is ok. What do you all think is going to happen when they quit getting federal funds? Daddy Trump is going to F you all and it will be WW3 time.

While the personal tragedies involving his family are deeply regrettable, they do not provide a justification for endangering public safety. Utilizing alcohol as a coping mechanism—particularly while operating a vehicle—raises fundamental questions regarding his judgment and fitness for office. Rather than seeking public sympathy, the most responsible course of action would be a formal resignation. Unfortunately, local voting trends suggest a recurring tolerance for such ethical lapses, which complicates the path toward more accountable leadership in Brownsville.

Deputy or policeman should have cut him some slack. Driven him home etc. We don't need bad press for local politicians anymore.

He lacks judgement. As many who know the loss of a partner I understand the drinking. When your partner passes over Rainbow Bridge it is like one of your limbs is cut off and nothing fills the void. However, you drink at home, don't get behind the wheel of your car, and definitely get grief counseling.

This man has money. He knows where to get help. He even has great health insurance. I am not judging just stating the facts.

Think that your wife is no longer suffering.

I think he is a schizophrenic who is off his meds. He probably claims to have great hear, when what he hears are the voices in his head.

Everyone does it.You just haven't got caught yet. One day though. Slow it down Mr & Mrs Rogers.

First of all nothing happened to him or anyone else. So why resign? That's not going to solve anything. Let him keep running the race and let the people decide. Not you! Tolerances? you say, it's having to hear people like you crying about this or that. Stop whining .

Yep, He has to man up to it.

Whatever Karen, every one does it. I bet you had a couple 2-3 glasses of wine at Chili’s and drove your caddy home. You sound like a retired teacher and drunk. Thanks for your service.

At 7:59 and 12:38, those are funny comments. I actually have tears from laughing. Go ahead and take your meds for ED and maybe you can find a sancho/sancha for later tonight. As far as the spy shit, what silence was broken if you don’t know my identity? Regarding this blog, I visit it out of boredom and because the author is nice enough to post comments, including your stupid ones. Maybe go visit Jerry and see him taking a dump on your face. Wait for it… FACT!!

Yes, everyone does it but not everyone goes around bringing up their spouses death.

This is how society changes. You give chances to your friends, you let your relatives do abusive things, you take advantage of others but nothing is really wrong. The new generation is nice and do not have the guts to set limits. The world is changing.

Folks, I saw Joey at that event the night he was pulled over. He was having his event and enjoying the attention, having his tequila shots. I am not a spoiler, but Joey, this was your calling.. time to pull the plug. Both you & your daughter know the BS you guys are doing with some of the BISD contracts. You really think Bville is that stupid when you guys don't recuse yourselves from voting on certain contracts that your family or daughter is involved in? You have been milking the system for years, even your own family has some shame on you and your tactics. Having your affairs (movidas on the side) for years, dude. You have no shame. Stop blaming your family loss and be a man. Stand up and say, "I fucked up!"

ENOIUNG IS ENOUGH with this pendejos. Guilty. Release the Bville files Joey? Time to pull your pants up and Man up! RESIGN... My daughter lost her job last years for the same issue, she "MAN 'd Up, took her licks, accepted her judgement. She is now back on track and doing well.

Mr. Lopez you had options instead of putting yourself in a bad situation. Now the Honorable thing to do Mr. Lopez is to step down and let this incident take its course.

He was a spy for reproductive services company, they collected patient information from sperm donors.

You heard it right! "I got arrested and fired, for being hungover." You mean they caught you drinking on the job? Oh yeah folks, he was drinking one the job but it didnt look like no Martini. It looked like a yogurt drink.

Great insurance thanks to tax payer's money. Didn't he try to take his children to Disneyland on tax payer's money too?

They do it all the time dickhead. Your just a nobody and haven't heard about it yet.

He won’t. I have taken all my falls and bruises, physically and socially. Arrogant people like this will continue to run for office, and politicians will keep getting voted in because they gave you a nice dinner. Then they will “serve” 4 years and you only see them when it is reelection time. Look at Aldrete and Gay-J. Now they are your friends again. Pay up, Suckers!!

KARMA is a bitch and about time it came through. He’s been cheating and using the system to benefit himself and his family. I know of an occasion where he sold property without one of the owner’s signature and not paying the share owed to the owner. He will cheat and scam anyone including relatives.

Why are you telling us to respect the legal process? They will not side with you. That’s for sure.

In reference to your last paragraph.
No one in this community and county is supporting you in your dwi/accident. Stop hallucinating/stop drinking. You are a nobody
You do no work
You are late or you don’t show up
According to you you can’t deal with the loss so you been a drunk all this time. No believe you. You have always been a heavy drinker.
