Chief of Police..Fired

Now that's some light has been shed on the reason for the firing of Eagle Pass Chief of Police, it turns out that there was no criminal activity associated with his dismissal. However, what it does disclose is that city staff reached so far back to incidents they allege were significant enough to terminate him. While it's not known if Castaneda serves at the will of the city manager, there appears to be little information as to whether the discrepancies being cited were addressed with him at the time they occurred or shortly thereafter. Additionally it is not known whether city administration offered him the opportunity to correct that which has now ended his longtime career. The precarious position that the city has placed themselves may be a determining factor if this matter reaches a court. But regardless on how future developments play out, Castaneda is likely to demand his right to confront his accusers. So, the drama continues.
