Hidalgo police chief arrested on domestic violence charge
Hidalgo Police Chief Rodolfo “Rudy” Espinoza was arrested early Thursday morning on a domestic violence charge following an incident in which the sheriff’s office was called to a Mission residence.
A deputy arrived to the Inspiration Road home at 11:39 p.m. Wednesday, according to the probable cause affidavit tied to the arrest, and Espinoza’s common-law wife told the deputy Espinoza had allegedly grabbed her by the neck.
The woman told the deputy she and Espinoza, 64, had lived together for more than a year, and “they began to argue when she returned home from (a) party.”
The party took place across the river in Reynosa earlier Wednesday, and the woman “did not tell Rodolfo that she was going,” according to the affidavit.
