Coahuila: Torreon Top Cop Under Investigation |
2010-10-14 |
![]() The Coahuila FiscalÃa General del Estado has placed under arrest the police chief of Torreon, Coahuila for investigation of crimes committed stemming from the arrest of state police agents. General Carlos Bibiano Villa Castillo will appear Friday before the court on charges of abuse of authority, obstruction of justice and aggravated injury and theft. The charges were initiated after Agentes de la Policia Investigadora (API) agents were arrested and beaten by elements of Torreon's municipal police force. The API agents were investigating an abduction when they were placed into custody of Torreon municipal police officers Monday afternoon. Villa Castillo told his officers in a handover ceremony Tuesday that the charges were all a misunderstanding and that good working relationships exist between the Torreon preventative police and the state attorney's office. |
