Former Deputy Sheriff in Medina County says it was fired because it reported illegal search for deputy colleague

Medina County, Texas – A former deputy of the sheriff in Medina County said she was ceased last fall after raising concerns about an illegal search by a deputy colleague.

Alexis Mireres (former Spengler) was officially exempt from his duties in early September, a few days after meeting with Sheriff Randy Brown.

In a recording of that meeting on August 29, offered by Miress to Kat Investigăs, Brown said she always supported MIRERES, but that her performance at work was a danger to her.

“I am not going to stay here and have a long discussion, but you will not work here. And I’m sorry he came to that, Alexis, “Brown told the recording. “Only I have reached a point where I am worried that you will be hurt. I’m really. “

Mireres, whose last term with the Sheriff’s office in Medina County lasted one year after working on several law enforcement agencies, including MCSO, responded to Brown to register that the command chain was broken.

“I tried my best to follow the chain and only … countless times when I asked for the previous meetings, I was not, I do not want to say ignored, but my mistake was never printed in a -mail,” Miress said.

What happened in Northern Medina County at the end of June?

Mireres told KSAT that other deputies also responded to a disturbance call to a house on the Road Road at the end of June.

While talking to a woman in the garage of the house, Mereres said that another woman deputy on the spot saw a substance above a countertop and then opened a cabinet under the counter.

“I said” you need a search warrant. ” She said “no, no.” I said “you do.” And he opened it, he removed it, it was a container. She opened it, smelled it, put it back, closed it. And this was the end of the discussion, ”said Mereres.

Mereres told KSAT that the incident was captured on the rooms worn by the body and reported to the “brass” of the agency.

“And then he began to progress all the problems,” said Miress.

Reached by phone for comments, Brown defended the deputy woman reported by Miress, saying she had a strong presence about her and would have surprised if she had an illegal search.

Brown said that he did not know the accusations of Mireres and that his administration has revised the photo materials worn by that day.

Brown sent KSAT a tracking email on Tuesday, stating that Mereres’s statements about an illegal search were false.

He told KSAT that he attributed several training officers to Mirress, even how to change their programs to work specifically with Miress, in trying to correct her work performance problems.

Brown said that after Mirres was completed, he offered a job as a test technician, because he allows him to continue working for the sheriff’s office, but in a position that does not interact with the public.

Mireres completed the requirements of the field training officer program at the end of January 2024, but was placed in it on June 25, the file of her staff shows.

The file includes seven letters of complaint against it, written by MCSO deputies and supervisors.

In an incident, Mireres was accused of showing the unseen weapon behind a deputy colleague for a long time, while running after a suspect in the woods.

In a separate complaint, a deputy wrote that Mireres did not trust and showed indecisivity during the fast -response training at an middle school in Medina County.

However, all seven letters of complaints were transformed after the alleged June 28 search, the recordings show.

“It’s disgusting,” said Miress when he was asked by KSAT about how other MCSO members described.

Mireres said he tried the Texas Municipal Police Association to challenge the termination of September 2024, just to find out that he paid for a spare member and, therefore, was not eligible for this service.

“Taking this, I had to withdraw from retirement, he put only a real tension on us financially,” said Mires.

Lieutenant MCS

In an unrelated incidentA lieutenant of the sheriff in Medina County was recommended for recalification in November, after being criminally investigated for a 2023 search for a residence.

Prosecutors from Medina County rejected last year an accusation of crime against a suspect of car theft in this case, against the background of the accusations that Liehy Gonzalez looked up in March 2023, without a mandate, shows the registrations.

Audrey Gossett Louis, the district lawyer for the 81st Judicial District, wrote on November 14 that there is no sufficient evidence to support Gonzalez’s criminal intention, but that he should have known that the search was illegal, according to the recordings viewed by KSAT.

Gonzalez has completed an 18 -hour course for arrest, search and confiscation on December 10, less than a month after the criminal case rejected, the Texas Commission shows for the law enforcement documents.
