Duncanville officer charged with official oppression
By FOX 4 Staff
Officer Christian Pinilla was taken into custody Tuesday night and charged with official oppression.
Police said it stems from an incident last month but did not release any details about what happened.
Officer Pinilla has been on the force for two years. In September, he was honored for saving a child that was locked in a hot car.
"While we are extremely disappointed to learn of the alleged misconduct and subsequent arrest of a Duncanville police officer, we are thankful the alleged misconduct was reported by other Duncanville police officers. We will not tolerate any member of the Duncanville Police Department using his/her position as a public servant to mistreat the public," Chief Robert Brown said in a statement.
