Uvalde School Police Chief Pete Arredondo Fired by School Board

Yesterday, the Uvalde school board voted unanimously to immediately terminate the contract of district police chief Pete Arredondo. The decision came after a closed session meeting which lasted nearly an hour and a half. Arredondo was not in attendance but his attorney issued a 17 page press statement that said the district wasn’t following legal procedure as it moved to fire the former police chief and that Arredondo was concerned about his safety. The meeting began with comments from members of the public some which called for Arredondo and other responding officers to turn in their badges.
