Over the fourth of July weekend, a detective from Harlingen was arrested for an alleged domestic violence incident.

Investigators believe that the man became angry when he found out that his sons did not want to move back to Texas and live with him. According to the 39-year-old man’s wife, his sons do not want to live with him because of his abusive tendencies and drinking problem.

His wife also told officials that the man started punching home appliances and threatened to kill his wife and himself. The wife also said that the man was yelling that he would not go down without a fight after the authorities were called.  Authorities found the man’s department-issued gun and seized it.
