Sheriff: Deputy Offers To Fix Ticket For Sexual Favors

The El Paso County Sheriff's Office released new information Friday about the arrest of a deputy for allegedly abusing his power.

Sgt. Hector Montes was arrested on a charge of official oppression after he allegedly offered to fix a woman's ticket in exchange for sexual. Police said the scene was caught on tape.

"This is clearly not what we stand for, it's a black eye on our organization, but I hope the citizens understand that this is something we will not tolerate," said Sheriff Richard Wiles. "And we took swift action, and I hope the citizen's understand that they can trust us."

Montes has been placed on paid administrative leave and Wiles said they have started the process to fire Montest as early as next week.

Deputies told KFOX as of Friday afternoon Montes resigned from the department.
