Wilmer Councilman Arrested for Threats | Texas News
Description
Wilmer’s political storm intensifies as Council Member Moses Garcia faces terroristic threat charges after a gas station confrontation captured on video, where he allegedly used racial slurs and claimed responsibility for firing key officials — including the police chief and mayor. Complicating matters, acting police chief Jesus Mancillas — newly arrived from Ferris — was arrested for allegedly interfering with the investigation and securing the damning footage. Now placed on administrative hold, Mancillas can’t work for any agency until his case is resolved. With the mayor’s seat up for grabs in a special election, former mayor Sheila Petta has thrown her hat in the ring, accusing Garcia of turning the city into a dictatorship of “yes people.” Garcia’s attorney denies the terroristic threat but remains silent on the firings.
