A story and photo posted on social media claiming a privately owned white Chevrolet Corvette was worked on in a Raymondville Independent School District maintenance shop posted on social media are a total fabrication, RISD Police Chief Oscar Gutierrez said last Friday.
The photo of the car was apparently Photoshopped into a garage of some kind, but only part of the hydraulic lift shown in the photo can be seen, the rest is not visible, the police chief said.
The online article is topped with Josephat Lozano’s byline and the title “Independent Investigative Journalist.”

Since an active investigation is under way, the chief said he cannot reveal more details.
He said the story and fake photo were likely created to harm the school district and the reputations of himself and the two top administrators.
In addition to being police chief, he is also in charge of vehicles, school buses, buildings and grounds maintenance as well as other responsibilities.
Also, he is chief of the Raymondville/Willacy County Volunteer Fire Department.
He said he resents an attack on his reputation by the implication he would allow improper use of school district resources.
Lozano, who uses the nickname “Hoss,” has worked as a teacher and as a Cameron County constable. He has sued the Raymondville school district unsuccessfully in the past.
He has not yet responded to an email requesting comment sent by the Raymondville Chronicle.

In December, a disagreement over how to handle special education services resulted in a series of emails between Lozano and other Progreso ISD employees. Lozano claimed other school district employees had broken the law, threatened him and violated his civil rights.
During the dispute, two Progreso ISD employees accused Lozano of making threatening comments. They warned Lozano to stop contacting them.
Lozano, though, continued to send emails to one of the employees, according to a complaint filed with the Progreso Municipal Court.
“Complainant stated that she received 5-6 emails after she verbally and in writing (email) told Mr. Lozano 3-4 times to stop ALL communication with her,” according to the complaint. “Complainant wants to file proper charges.”
The Progreso Police Department arrested Lozano on Jan. 22. At the time, Superintendent Sergio Coronado said he couldn’t comment on the incident because Progreso ISD was conducting an internal investigation.

That says it all, Al.
Brownsville can be described as the late dying of a lingering small-town America, once you get past the old town next to the border there are the typical box stores and chains that crush the older dated retail model. It could be said it lasted longer here because of its proximity to Matamoros. Unlike Tijuana, Matamoros has not experienced the rivalry over corruption, so it has a calm about it.
He’s a former educator who makes fun of special needs kids. This guy is pure trash, Steve Guerra paid him to do his dirty work. Steve and Josaphat are both scum.
