According to KGBT-TV, Art Rodriquez, the assistant city manager in San Benito, Texas, says a city fire captain showed up to work intoxicated on Saturday. You will note in the story below and above, the captain’s “work issued gun” was retrieved when he was his sent home and suspended. I could find no explanation on the town’s website about why fire captains carry guns (such as they do the job of both police officers and firefighters).
Also, another news report indicates firefighters reported the captain to city officials.
His credentials and work issued gun were immediately taken from him.
In a statement Rodriguez also said.
“As city managers, we obviously cannot control a person’s thoughts, but we do have a responsibility to the people of the city of san Benito and the programs we manage; inclusive to address behavior that affects the individual Employee(s) And the city.”
