A former deputy was taken into custody on a charge. She had been employed by the Bexar County Sheriff's Office for two years. The arrest occurred Tuesday afternoon, after a warrant was issued the previous day. The deputy resigned following her arrest, rather than face termination.

The circumstances surrounding the arrest are under investigation by the Laredo Police Department. The alleged conduct is believed to have occurred before the deputy joined the sheriff's office.

Further details about the case are not immediately available, and the sheriff's office has deferred questions to the Laredo police.
