Two police officers in the small town of West Tawakoni have been fired amid an investigation into alleged misconduct, and one of them was arrested after a standoff.
West Tawakoni Police Chief Jack Schultz tells The Greenville Herald-Banner that the men violated department policy and are being investigated by the Texas Rangers.
One of the men, Perry Reed, remained jailed Wednesday on a charge of assault after his arrest in nearby Greenville following a standoff Tuesday night. Details regarding the assault and standoff weren't immediately available.
Reed and the other officer don't yet have attorneys who can comment on their behalf.
West Tawakoni is a town of about 1,000 residents located about 45 miles east of Dallas.
