Two Houston PD officers target
Two Houston police officers were relieved of duty while the department investigates allegations involving the sale of a police union vehicle, officials said.
Senior officers Ronald L. Martin, 51, and Jeffery D. Larson, 39, are both former officials with the Houston Police Officer's Union, whose officers brought accusations of criminal misconduct against the two, according to the Houston Police Department. The were relieved of duty with pay pending the outcome of the investigation, authorities said.
While the details of the complaint are unknown, union Executive Director Officer Mark Clark said the investigation was launched after a question was raised by the union's board of directors involving the sale of one of the union's vehicles. Clark noted that the vehicles are owned by the union and not the government.
"Nothing to do with any taxpayer money," he said.
The union owns about six vehicles, used by union attorneys and other officers to conduct business, Clark said.
Martin, sworn in April 1978, is assigned to the department's Juvenile Division. He was on full-time release to conduct union business for about six years and also served as an elected member of the executive board until November, Clark said.
Larson, sworn in January 1992, is assigned to the Mobility Incident Management Division. A union member for about five years, Larson was appointed treasurer until last fall, Clark said.
HPD's Internal Affairs Division and the Harris County District Attorney's Office are investigating. No further information was immediately available.
