The former Uvalde police chief who waited over an hour before breaching the classroom in which a gunman was stationed with children just won a case in court. After his less-than-honorable discharge, he can get the 'red flag' removed from his record.
Former Police Chief Pete Arredondo led the officers who responded to the shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas. The shooting killed 19 students and two teachers on May 24. Arredondo and the officers have been under severe scrutiny for waiting over an hour before breaching the classroom where the shooter was stationed with school children.
When a Texas law enforcement officer is fired for any reason, the agency will submit an F-5 employment termination report to the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement, labeling the discharge as dishonorable, general, or honorable."Less than honorable" can mean general or dishonorable. An officer can then appeal to the State Office of Administrative Hearings to upgrade their classification.
A"default" decision was reached in January, granting Arredondo an upgrade in his discharge classification and taking the blemish away from his record. It is unclear whether his status is now"honorable" or"general," as the filings are confidential, according to Shane Linkous, general counsel at the State Office of Administrative Hearings.
Almost 60% of discharge upgrades occur because of a default, meaning that the agency that filed the report, the Uvalde School District, did not show up to fight the appeal.
