Authorities stated the sixteen Arlington police officers were accused of reporting traffic stops that never happened. They were facing criminal charges related to falsely reporting traffic stops.
Eleven of the police officers had agreed to plea bargains and gave up their peace officer licenses to avoid indictments. Five of them had been indicted. However, they later took the same deal to have the indictments dismissed.
“The AMPA is disappointed with the outcome, in that we wish the officers could have continued the fight, but we understand the risk and they must do what is best for their families," stated the Arlington Municipal Patrolman’s Association.
Now that their peace officers licenses have been forfeited, none of the sixteen police officers will be able to work as officers anywhere in the state of Texas.
