An APD officer helped a domestic violence suspect evade arrest, according to Chief Joe Chacon memo.
for helping the suspect in an alleged domestic violence assault evade arrest.
While Upton and two other officers, unnamed in the memo, drove to the scene, the call was upgraded to a"Disturbance – Hot Shot," which means someone is facing imminent threat to their life or safety. When they arrived, they separated Mr. NL and Ms. VS to collect statements from each. Both said they were involved in a physical altercation, although each offered differing versions of events – a typical challenge officers confront during domestic violence calls.
“Thank god that the victim felt comfortable sharing this information with the Victim Services counselor. Otherwise this incident would have gone unnoticed.”While one of the unnamed officers consulted with Bayer, who has more than two decades of experience at APD, Upton returned to Mr. NL, who told him he was worried about being arrested. Upton, who was hired by APD in 2013, responded by surreptitiously writing Mr. NL the note.
Based on Chacon's memo, he, Bayer, and the Victim Services counselor were all disturbed by Upton's actions because they could have placed Ms. VS at further risk and because"as a consequence of this experience, Ms. VS may be demoralized or discouraged from reporting future crimes to police," the memo said.Austin/Travis County Sexual Assault Response and Resource Team
