Two Officers Fired, One Arrested After Standoff

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.
