A Texas Department of Public Safety trooper stationed at the Alamo has been suspended after he was arrested on a drunken driving charge in New Braunfels, DPS officials said.
Fernando Daniel Gomez, 36, was arrested by New Braunfels police on Aug. 30, according to DPS. DPS said Gomez was off-duty at the time. Comal County court records show he faces a charge of driving while intoxicated with an open container.
The DPS Office of Inspector General has conducted an internal investigation, the agency said in a written statement. "The results are now under review, and Gomez remains suspended," the statement said. DPS said Gomez has worked for the agency since 2015. Court records list him as a resident of Del Rio.
