CHANNEL 4 NEWS CONFIRMS A DWI in MISSION TX OF DISTRICT 40 CHALLENGER: EDDIE SAENZ!!
IT IS CONFIRMED BY CHANNEL 4 NEWS
EDDIE SAENZ WAS ARRESTED FOR DWI!
HE WILL TURN HIMSELF IN THE NEAR FUTURE.
HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE? HOW CAN SOMETHING LIKE THIS BE HIDDEN FOR 4 to 5 DAYS? SOMETHING ISN'T MAKING SENSE HERE.
AGAIN WE HERE AT THE POLITICAL RING AREN'T TRYING TO BEAT A DEAD HORSE, BUT THE FOLLOWING IS A CLIP FROM MR. SAENZ'S ISSUES FROM HIS WEBSITE (EDDIE SAENZ FOR DISTRICT 40)
note: we BOLDED some IRONIC KEY ISSUES well that didn't work while he was in custody in Mission.
"Make South Texas safer
South Texans have just as much right as anyone else to feel safe in our homes, our businesses, our schools, our neighborhoods, and on our streets. The key is getting tough on crime — and tough on the causes of crime. Our law enforcement professionals can’t do it on their own. It takes a community-wide effort to find the resources for proven programs that makes us all safer. We can do better:
Secure more resources for local law enforcement professionals so that they have the tools to do the job we expect of them.
Work with federal authorities to improve border security and obtain the technology needed to keep our communities safe without weakening the family, business, and cultural ties that make our region dynamic
Support meet-and-confer rules to allow local leaders and police departments to reach agreements on important work force issues
Provide more resources for community first responders, fire fighters, and other emergency personnel"
AGAIN, WE'RE NOT HERE TO BEAT A DEAD HORSE ISSUE, BUT YOU CAN'T AFFORD TO LIE TO THE PEOPLE BY HIDING THE MISTAKE AND THEN DECIDE TO TRY TO RIGHT A WRONG LATER. IF IT WERE ANY OF US, WE'D BE IN JAIL IN MISSION AND HIDALGO COUNTY JAIL.
WHY WASN'T THE STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE CONDUCTED IN THIS SITUATION?
I CLEARLY UNDERSTAND THAT US WORKING CLASS CITIZENS DON'T HAVE SUCH POLITICAL CONNECTIONS AND MONETARY RESOURCES TO MAKE A CASE OF THIS MAGNITUDE DISAPEAR OVERNIGHT AND CONSIDER SURRENDERING DAYS LATER, BUT WE ARE THE VERY SAME CITIZENS THAT JUST HAPPEN TO BE VOTING IN THE UP COMING ELECTION. AND THIS TYPE OF ARROGANCE IS A POOR EXCUSE OF PUBLIC DISPLAY. THAT IS JUST SLAPPING US ORDINARY WORKING CLASS IN THE FACE. WE ABIDE BY LAWS ON A DAILY BASIS, WELL THEN SO SHOULD MR. SAENZ. SOMETHING VERY WRONG JUST OCCURED HERE, AND WE GAVE ENOUGH TIME FOR THIS STORY TO BE CONFIRMED AND WE MUST ADD THAT PEOPLE SHOULD TAKE NOTE AS TO NOT ONLY THE SEVERITY OF THE CASE BUT THE CLEAR IGNORANCE OF IT AS WELL. WHY TRY TO HIDE IT?

FROM THE MONITOR
September 26, 2007 - 11:03PM
MISSION — A candidate for state representative could face charges of driving while intoxicated pending the outcome of a Mission police investigation.
A police officer detained Eddie Saenz, 47, under suspicion of driving while intoxicated either late Friday night or early Saturday morning, said Lt. Martin Garza, a spokesman for the Mission Police Department. Saenz announced his candidacy for state representative earlier this month.
The Edinburg engineer has challenged incumbent Aaron Peña in next year’s Democratic primary. The duo are competing to represent District 40, which covers most of Hidalgo County north of McAllen.
Garza said Saenz was “detained” on suspicion of driving while intoxicated but has not been arrested or charged with a crime.
Police expect to conclude the investigation and decide whether to charge Saenz by this afternoon. Garza said Saenz was not likely to flee and was therefore released on the condition that he turn himself in if he is charged. Police were not releasing the location or circumstances of the vehicle stop as of Wednesday evening.
Garza said the delay in deciding whether to charge Saenz is not unusual under the circumstances. He noted that the officer who stopped Saenz handled many calls that night and was unable to complete the incident report before the end of his shift.
Officials said politics played no role and the incident was handled according to normal procedure.
However, the missing report hamstrung the investigation, Garza said. Investigators received the report Monday or Tuesday, he said.
Saenz did not respond to a message left on his cell phone Wednesday evening. Kelly Fero, a member of his campaign, said he would release a statement, but The Monitor had not received it as of press time, and Fero did not respond to further messages."
This becomes just another part of the campaign bs we are going to hear because there will likely be no clear resolution. He will not be able to clear up this issue, it won't stop either the innuendos or public debate of what happened. I doubt that there is much chance of a conviction here, might not even be enough for an indictment. Too late for testing unless he submitted to either took a breathalzyer that night. Maybe if a filmed field sobriety test exists there is a chance for resolution one way or the other since I think all the patrol cars have cameras now(cynicism requires me to say the camera was probably broken too), the matter could be put to rest one way or the other. I bet the cell phone records for the night would be interesting.
I feel more sorry for the public because this lands in the hands of the Spin Doctors and we get to hear about this rather than the issues. I feel sorry for the Officer too because he will become the focus of scrutiny and possibly the scapegoat for why there is no evidence and if he allowed him to drive off with a warning.
Mission chief; arent you the same chief that had a family member killed because the people that were in the car were drunk? How can this sit well with you??
DWI- Standards in POLICE WORK:
1. Video tape mounted on police vehicle on during such stops at those hours of the night.
WHERES THE TAPE?
2. In the booking area, theres a video monitor monitoring the booking process.
WHERES THE TAPE?
3. Mugshots taken at Mission PD and County Jail during booking process.
WHERES THE PICTURES?
4. Transport of INMATE after araignment from local to county jail should be logged in at both areas.
WHERES THE PROOF OF THAT?
5. If a drunk driver is released, the person is released to someone who is sober.
WHO WAS THAT PERSON?
6. You cant "detain" a person on suspicion of drunk driving once they REFUSE a BREATHALYZER, or a STIGMA EYE EXAM is conducted to prove if the person is legally drunk.
THATS AN AUTOMATIC ARREST and SUPENSION OF LICENSE.
THE DWI IS ONE OFFENSE, BUT THE MASSIVE COVER UP IS WIELDING TO BE A MORE SERIOUS BLOW TO THE INTEGRITY OF SUCH CAMPAIGN.
"HUMPTY DUMPTY HAD A GREAT FALL,
ALL THE KING'S HORSES AND ALL THE KING'S MEN COULDN'T PUT HUMPTY BACK TOGETHER AGAIN."
Sound familiar to you enews? Good luck with that spin, you have 5 months to make the voters in district 40 either completely stupid or mislead them, and I hope people's memory prevails. A COVER UP at any level is indicative of a person's INTEGRITY and you won't make me stupid.
3.
This cover-up is going to the highest offices in the county. Watch for it.
Police: Candidate to turn himself in
By Jeremy Roebuck and Zack Quaintance
September 27, 2007 - 1:40PM
MISSION – A prominent engineer currently running for state office is expected to turn himself into police later today on DWI charges.
Eddie Saenz, 47, made arrangements through his attorney to surrender to authorities by 2 p.m., Mission police Lt. Martin Garza said.
Officers stopped the Edinburg engineer under suspicion that he was driving drunk either late Friday night or early Saturday morning. However he was not arrested or charged with a crime at the scene.
Garza said the delay in deciding whether to charge Saenz was not unusual under the circumstances. Saenz was not likely to flee and the officer that stopped him handled several other calls that night, he said.
Saenz announced earlier this month that he would challenge incumbent state Rep. Aaron Peña for the District 40 seat, which covers most of Hidalgo County north of McAllen.
He did not respond to a message left on his cell phone Wednesday evening. Kelly Fero, a member of his campaign, said he would release a statement. The Monitor has still not received it, and Fero did not respond to further messages.
Check www.themonitor.com throughout the day for updates to this and other breaking news stories.
Mission Police Chief Longoria and Hidalgo County Sheriff Trevino need to be investigated for this COVER UP! They know the truth, but refuse to let out the details.
THESE ARE THE COMMENTS OF THE PEOPLE ON THE MONITOR ABOUT MR.SAENZ's DWI INCIDENT:
In any case, isn't it fun to theorize? I call all such reactions to these types of articles The Jerry Springer Effect. We love dirt! I am just as guilty as anyone else. I just hate it when this stuff sends more important stuff into the archives

All this is bull! Yes, Saenz was arrested on the spot, it is procedure. Saenz refused to submit his specimen. And the officer did turn in the report on time, it is procedure before the end of every officer's shift and they keep of log of each report being submitted. So, Lt. Garza is lying about the report not being submitted on time. If it is politics taking over the situation is is a SAD thing. What if Saenz had hit a innocent family and killed or injuried someone, would they hide that evidence too? Let's be fair and charge everyone equally, not matter what political standing they hold.

Everyone here is making assumptions that it was the patrol officer who did not do his or her job correctly. These assumptions are being made based on information that was given to the reporter who wrote the story. Has anyone given any consideration to the fact that perhaps the officer really DID make the arrest, really DID book the person into jail after a breath test was refused, and really DID turn in his or her report in a timely manner? Could it be that the agency's administration elected to release the defendant on a personal recognizance release? Of course, not everyone gets this "special" treatment which is why the agency is now scrambling to come up with something to cover their actions once this special treatment was released to the media? I'm just throwing this out for consideration as a plausible alternative to what may have really happened.

Ouch. I have to agree with citizen x. What makes it more suspicious is that apparently Mission has a "normal procedure" where suspects are let go if they promise to turn themselves in if they are later charged. I know judges will do this. Uhmm. But that is called an arraignment after the person has already been arrested and charged with an offense. Are Mission cops enforcers and judges now? I can already hear them yelling something about officer discretion. You have got to be kidding. Did you all forget that peace officers read the paper too? It would've been better for you guys to just say there wasn't enough to arrest him. But you already messed up. Sorry but it looks like a scam. citizen x, are you a cop?

I mostly agree with citizen x. Seems to me it will be nearly impossible to get a conviction the way this case was handled. I will go further and even suggest another possibility. Given that this occurred in the Valley and this guy is running for office against a well known incumbent, it is possible that this guy is getting framed. Even the accusation could hurt his campaign. Anything is possible in the Valley.

DWI not a big deal! Hidalgo County is a leader in DWI deaths in the state and the state leads the nation. DWI is a big deal for those who have lost a loved one to an irresponsible, selfish act. This is a very big deal and it seems like it is only getting bigger because this guy is not taking any responsibility. You should never defend this type of behavior.

What? Whoa! Hold everything. Did I read the article right? This guy was detained and released on suspicion of DWI. Well, it doesn't work that way. Was he asked to provide a specimen of his breath? Did he provide it or did he refuse? Why wasn't he charged on the spot? Why wasn't he arrested? If you didn't follow through with the DWI investigation, how do you go back and arrest someone for it? Here's what I think. And it's just my view from what I read. The officer didn't handle the DWI according to procedure. The guy was probably just let go as a favor. Someone leaked the incident out to the media, and now they've come up with some bullzhit about how they are following procedure. I don't think so! Lt. Garza, let me ask you something about normal procedure. Do your officers handle all DWI cases this way or do they arrest the drivers on the spot? I really think you're full of it.

Why make a report if the officer is not going to arrest right there and there. Now it is going to be very hard to prove he was DWI. Well in my opinion anybody is better than Aaron Pena for the position of Rep. anyway. Eddie Saenz you learn your lession--don't drink and drive, you got your second chance. Good luck.

Are police officers not supposed to stay and finish their incident reports after their shifts when it is still fresh in their minds? Maybe the police officer needed a little time to get input from others so the report would look pretty.

BUT WHY WASN'T HE ARRESTED IF HE WAS DRUNK OR GIVEN A WARNING TO BE CAREFUL IF HE WASN'T DRUNK. DID HIS ALCOHOL LEVEL GO UP OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS? IS HE NOW A TARGET BECAUSE OF HIS CHOICE TO RUN FOR OFFICE? YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO TO JAIL IF YOU REFUSE A BREATH TEST AND REQUEST A BLOOD TEST INSTEAD. THE THING IS THAT BY THE TIME YOU GET TAKEN TO A HOSPITAL OR CLINIC FOR THE BLOOD TEST, THE ALCOHOL LEVEL HAS GONE DOWN. WAS HE TAKEN TO GET A BLOOD TEST AND THE RESULTS HAVE JUST NOW COME IN? DECIDING NOT TO TAKE HIM IN BECAUSE OF THE "PROMINENT" TITLE OR MONEY IN HIS BANK ACCOUNT, THAT IS NOT UNUSUAL FOR THE MISSION PD? I KNOW WHERE I'M GOING WHEN I WENT TO PARTY AND BRINGING MY CHECK BOOK. WHAT WERE THE CIRCUMSTANCES THAT LEAD THE POLICE OFFICER NOT TO ARREST A DUI DRIVER? THERE HAS TO BE MORE.

Monitor just posted!!Eddie charged with DWI. Bond was set at 5,000.00. His attorney (same as Omar's) says he will fight it.
Heres My assesment of the Eddie Saenz DWI Incident:
Why turn yourself in to authorities with your Attorney Present?
If you were let go on WARNING, no need to return to that City with an Attorney.
The Mission PD spokesman declared that Mr.Saenz was detained on suspicion, but let go, well then what type of Police Report is the Officer going to turn in? Warning citations aren't contested with an Attorney. You DON'T TURN YOURSELF IN TO AUTHORITIES ON A WARNING CITATION DAYS LATER.
EXCUSE MY PERSISTANCE, BUT WE HERE AT THE POLITICAL RING WERE STEERING CLEAR OF BASHING CANDIDATES SEEKING OFFICE, BUT THERE HAS BEEN AN ERROR ON A CANDIDATES' PART WHICH IS VERY UNDERSTANDABLE AND THAT BEING THE CIRCUMSTANCES, THE POLITICAL RING IS NO BETTER OR PERFECT TO DECLARE OTHERWISE. BUT ITS JUST THE BLATANT ARROGANCE OF TRYING TO COVER UP SUCH DEBACLE PUBLICLY TAKES QUITE A FEW PEOPLE'S HELP AND BEHIND THE DOOR KINDA CONSPIRING TO PULL OFF SUCH THINGS.
THIS AINT MY FIRST RODEO HERE PEOPLE, MY DADDY ONCE WARNED ME TO BUY A GOOD SET OF COWBOY BOOTS, BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN YOU'LL BE KNEE DEEP IN SHIT. AND THE FORECAST READS THAT WE'RE EXPECTING ABOUT AN ADDITIONAL 10 INCHES OF TEXAS MUD PIES IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE.
THE PUNISHMENT MUST FIT THE CRIME REGARDLESS OF WHO IT WAS THAT COMMITED IT. MR.SAENZ SHOULD OF JUST PAID HIS FINES AND HAD HIS DAY IN COURT AND REFUSE TO THINK THAT HE IS ABOVE OUR LAWS. WE AINT, SO WHY SHOULD HE BE GIVEN PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT.
Channel 4 said he was arrested. I smell a huge lawsuit
Omar Guerrero's attorney was Rick Salinas, Mission Mayor Norberto Salinas' son, wouldn't that be a conflict of INTEREST?
I mean is Mr.Saenz's case against the City of Mission for the DWI
Or
Is Mr.Saenz's case against TX DPS for the suspension of his license.
The Attorney will have to fight both cases at this point it appears.
Court in Mission Municipality and Court at McAllen City Hall 2nd Floor with TX DPS Prosecuting Attorney for the State on the License issue.
you forgot to add that there is an investigator in Mision P.D. by the name of Vince Ochoa. not sure if he is releated to the Mayor or the J.P. from the west side.
The arresting police officers work shift is from 10pm-5am. So it really begs the question. HOW LONG DOES IS TAKE TO PROCESS A DRUNK MAN?
Mission PD: But, the officer had a lot of calls that night.
HELLO! WHO ELSE IS WORKING? I didn't know Mission P.D was a one man show?
COVERUP BIG TIME!!!
TEXAS RANGERS...MOUNT UP!!!
MORE COMMENTS FROM THE PEOPLE REGARDING THE DWI SAENZ-GATE DEBACLE FROM THE MONITOR:
What the? A officer cannot go home until all his reports are done. This is a slap in the face for Mission PD. They let him go because of who he was. Have some nuts Mission. It is totaly wrong what you all did and this reflects on the chief.

Realty Check, i for one don't question that the man may be innocent, but strongly believe that he is not. however, what is in question is the treatment he received. if my brother had been detained, i am quite certain that he would have been taknen to jail and gone thru the entire procesws before being bonded out. Saenz is no different, he should have gone thru the smae process. i agree with been there, it is a poor excuse from Mission PD Lt. Garza

come on Lt Garza, can't Mission Police Administrators do better than that? what a lame excuse for treating this man different than everyone else. as a former mission pd officer i know that is not NORMAL PROCEDURE. The man was either DWI or not and obviously he was in order to have him turn himself in. Normal procedure would be to detain him, offer him the breathalyzer and he either submits to it or not. if he refuses then his licnse is automaticlly suspended. officer writes report, turns in to supervisor for approve, suspect is then arraigned and taken to county jail. end of story. if that had been any other regular john doe, I guarantee he would not have been let go. PLEASE do try to come up with better EXCUSES, because that's what they are excuses. But we are used to seeing the rich, powerful, prominent, political, etc. get special treatment here in the valley.

This sounds like a lynching to me. “What happened to innocent until proven guilty”. Maybe we should all take a step back and get a reality check. Saenz is running for office he is in the public eye he has never been involved in any form of scandal nor has his name been dragged through the mud before, his record is impeccable and above reproach. The only negative publicity that he has ever received was when he was running for office against Aaron Pena for State Representative, and the slanderous and liable remarks made by Pena were proven wrong then and will be proven wrong now. The republican party certainly is going to a lot of trouble to plant dirt where there is none.

I certainly agree that there's a cover up with this incident. It's the Valley Way. I was a cop in one of the Valleys bigger cities and I experienced the wrath of the city and district for citing the driver and his passengers when I pulled them over for erratic driving. The driver was charged with DUI and the passengers for public intoxication. These men were all politicians in Hidalgo county. The driver and his passengers contacted the Chief of Police whom later that evening let them out of jail with no charges, charges dropped. I'm a firm believer that all people should be treated equal regardless of your social status. I was written up, later fired, and blackballed. However, it didn't stick when I later sued them. So a word of advice to all you peace officers reading this. Always do your job with integrity, morally, and follow the book of the law because that which comes around, goes around.

Heres my prediction on this Eddie Saenz DWI CASE:
1. Ric Salinas is Norberto Salinas' Son, so that being said, the Mission PD Chief will pull every string within the department to satisfy the Mayor or his son. SO EDDIE WILL BEAT THE RAP IN MISSION.
2. SO IF HE BEATS THE WRAP IN MISSION, THE POLICE OFFICER WILL RECANT ON HIS REPORT AND CLAIM HE DID SOMETHING WRONG IN THE ARREST AND THE CASE WILL GET THROWN OUT, LEAVING MR.SAENZ FREE OF ALL CHARGES. NO LICENSE SUSPENSION, NO FINES, JUST BIG ATTORNEY FEES. BECAUSE IT AINT BY ACCIDENT THAT RIC SALINAS IS HIS ATTORNEY IN MISSION. HELLO, THE MAYOR IS HIS DAD.
It may seem strange, but there would be no conflict of interest, because "legally" the mayor does not have a role in the dept. or the investigation. Not to say for the public there would not be a feeling of "too close for comfort" and not to say that the public would not feel the "Omar Effect" when they think of the issue, but this would only a public perception issue (more of an effect as to the election than the criminal case.
As for the chance of a conviction. Based on what we know now, looks like that stands the chance of a fart in the wind (maybe hurricane). With no arrest there will likely be either little evidence or enough to raise a "reasonable doubt of guilt" Hell the DA may not even prosecute the case if the evidence is not enough to see a chance of conviction. The catch-22 is that if he does prosecute some will say it is for political purpose.
Like I said the officer will be the scapegoat (since we don't know and may never know all the facts we will not know if this is right or wrong) We might get an internal investigation (those do so well) but the chief is on record now saying there was no procedural error. We could get a Ranger review, but where does that go.
No it looks like this will be the other prime issue of the campaign. But you know me I am a pessimist. But it you look on the brightside, maybe we can get a made-for-tv movie. Bad Boys, Bad Boys what ya goin to do ...what ya goin to do when hmm when they ask you to come by when you get a chance to talk to your consultant and your attorney (not very catchy)
Maybe we should all take a step back and get a reality check. Saenz is running for office he is in the public eye he has never been involved in any form of scandal nor has his name been dragged through the mud before, his record is impeccable and above reproach.
He also happened to be at a wedding in Sharyland that evening along with some high-profile Pena supporters. Trouble is always a phone call away.
Who amongst this comment board has NOT driven home from an event with a couple of beers in your system?
Think about it...
Guilty right here, although that isn't one of my proudest moments and I do understand that many of us challenge such law on a daily basis. We aren't above making foolish mistakes like that and that is not what we here at THE POLITICAL RING are being vocal about, EDDIE SAENZ getting a so Called DWI isn't the scandal, It's the COVER UP and TURNING HIMSELF IN 4 DAYS LATER, THATS THE SCANDAL. PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT TO A CITIZEN THAT ISN'T EVEN IN OFFICE IS WHAT DISTURBS MOST PEOPLE FOLLOWING THE CASE. BECAUSE CAN YOU IMAGINE IF HE GETS ELECTED? IMAGINE HOW MUCH MORE HE WILL COVER UP. NOBODY BENEFITS FROM THE COVER UP OF A DWI BUT ONE PERSON and WHO MIGHT THAT BE? HMMM. THIS IS A CLEAR VIOLATION OF THE LAW AND DISREGARDING SUCH ACTIONS ARE INDICATIVE OF ONE'S BLATANT ARROGANCE OF SUCH AUTHORITY. Nobody is perfect and we understand that, but we the people don't have the luxury of covering up such things. HOW DID SAENZ GET HOME? If he in fact was given a warning, how did he get home? The citizens of Mission could of blamed the city's police department for letting a suspicious drunk driver go then. Things could of been worse.
