Man in Jail Dies: Officers Try to Hide Evidence
Jul 28th, 2011 | Category: Webb CountyThe investigation of an inmate at Webb County Jail leads to the arrests of two correctional officers.
Esteban Paez, Sr. and Enrique Villarreal turned themselves in to authorities following a custodial death investigation earlier this month. A joint investigation with the Webb County Sheriff’s office and Texas Rangers revealed the two didn’t follow procedures.
Inmate Charlie Johnson committed suicide while the two officers were supposed to keep a close eye on him.
The sheriff has recommended their termination; both have been served with notice of proposed disciplinary action forms.
Villarreal and Paez are charged with one count each of tampering with a government document, a third degree felony.
