A police officer in Houston who was injured in a crash with a school bus this month has been charged with DWI.
According to officials with the Houston Police Department, 46 year-old Sergeant Ruben Trejo was on his way to work on April 13 when he collided with a school bus in the 7900 block of Harrisburg shortly afer 2:15 p.m. in East Houston. At the time of the accident, a department spokesman said the bus driver ran a stop sign and caused the accident, but witnesses reported seeing the officer run a stop sign.
The bus driver told reporters she thought the Trejo had been drinking. “He smelled drunk and he had beer and wine opened in his car,” Teresa Argueta said.
Trejo was relieved of pay on Friday after an investigation led to DWI charges.
