Two El Paso Police Department officers allegedly attempted to prevent the arrest of a fellow officer suspected of driving drunk and crashing into two vehicles in less than 25 minutes near the department's headquarters, court documents state.
All three officers have been placed on administrative duty.
Officer Isaac Menchaca, who was off duty at the time, was driving a dark grey Dodge Ram about 1:55 p.m. March 5 in the 3000 block of Tularosa Avenue near the El Paso Police Department headquarters when he swerved and hit a parked GMC Terrain, a complaint affidavit states.
The GMC was "properly parked" on the side of the street, the affidavit states
Surveillance videos from the El Paso Police Department headquarters and a nearby business obtained by investigators showed Menchaca opening the Dodge's driver door and throwing up, the affidavit states.
Menchaca is then seen driving east on Tularosa Avenue, past Raynor Street.
The witness then drove back to the crash location and left a note on the GMC's window. The message read, "saw the car that hit yours," with a phone number for GMC's owner to call, the affidavit states.
