Acting on action sponsored by citizens of Loma Bonita, Commissioner Roberto Ruiz placed an item on last Monday Commissioners’ court in regards to place a Maverick County Sheriff Deputy sub-station on the Self Help Center location. Maverick County Sheriff Tom Schmerber asserted to the commissioner that he will be more than glad to have his deputy’s patrol and maintain the areas outside the city limits of Eagle Pass. Sheriff Schmerber agreed he considers a privilege working with the patrolling duties of the constable of precinct four. Lately there has been a number of illegal activities on this area including drug distribution and traffic of Illegal aliens. According to Ruiz the locale will also house the Constable of Pct. 4 Joe Regalado and his alternate deputy constables. Constable Regalado said, “my intentions are to help the citizens of our immediate area as well as my duties to work in conjunction with the J.P. of Precinct 4 Tere Melendrez, which are to issue citations and activate civil process as well as crime prevention and patrolling the area”. According to the commissioner the substation should be readily available within three to four weeks on Boulder Street within the Loma Bonita area of the precinct. “We will be inviting the U.S. Border Patrol to use or simply come by and share the facilities of the Loma Bonita Sheriff Sub Station- this kind of activities will help to assure the local folks that local law enforcement forces are taking active role in crime prevention”, concluded Commissioner Roberto Ruiz.
