Arlington police arrest wrong man on murder charges

No Comments

Fransisco Daniel Romero was recently arrested and accused of murder after being pulled over by an Arlington police officer.  Romero was pulled over for a traffic offense, but upon looking up his driver’s license number and birth date, the police found an arrest warrant for a man with the same name who is suspected of a murder 11 years ago.  Both Fransisco Daniel Romero and the man who has a warrant for arrest, Fransisco Javier Ortiz Romero, were born on October 4th, 1969 and have a wife named Sandra.

Fransisco Daniel Romero repeatedly told police that he was innocent and despite a lack of photo or fingerprint identification from the suspect, the Arlington police confirmed the warrant and turned Romero over to the Dallas County Jail.  Romeo has no criminal record, not even a traffic offense, has maintained employment, and became a permanent resident of the United States in 2002.  Fortunately, the suspect’s former wife Sandra was called in and notified the police that they had the wrong Romero.

Dallas police officers accused of beating DWI suspect

No Comments

A DWI suspect is accusing two Dallas Police officers of beating him after they found him in front of his home.

According to the man, the incident occurred when two undercover police spotted him outside of his home. The man has admitted that he has a lengthy criminal history and had been drinking and driving earlier that morning.

The man then said that the police officers grabbed him out of his truck, knocked him down and began to kick him in the face. The man said that the officers then left him in his driveway and his girlfriend and daughter found him beaten in the front yard.

The officers did not arrest him or call for any medical help. Other officers were called to investigate why the original officers had not arrested the man even though he had many outstanding warrants. The undercover officers told investigators that the man lunged at them so they were forced to take him down, but there is still a question why the man was not arrested.

Drunk driving accident sends one to hospital

No Comments

A drunk driving accident sent one to the hospital on Sam Houston Blvd.

A 38-year-old man struck another vehicle and then fled the scene of the accident. The driver of the car that was hit was immediately transported to the hospital with serious injuries.

An officer later found the 38-year-old driver’s car by noticing the damage on his car and thinking it would be congruent to the accident. A field sobriety test was done to the man and he failed this and the blood test that was ran.

Drunk driving accidents can cause serious injury and legal issues for any offenders. Our thoughts are with the family of the victim.

Woman indicted in fatal DWI wreck

No Comments

A woman has been indicted for the death of a bicyclist she allegedly hit in a DWI accident.

The woman was driving a Kia when she struck a 33-year-old bicyclist. A Breathalyzer test at the scene measured her blood alcohol content at 0.08 and the police officer on the scene originally said that alcohol was not the cause of the incident. The driver claims that she only had one cocktail and she did not see the bicyclist until after she hit him. A court date has not been scheduled, but the driver is currently out on bond.
