A former Rio Grande City Police
Officer has found himself on the other side of the law.
Rodolfo Hinojosa was arrested
this morning on two charges of sexual assault of a child.
Hinojosa appeared before Judge
Zarrate around 7:00 p.m. and his bond was set at $200,000 for the two counts.
The case is currently
investigated by the Starr County District Attorney’s office and the Texas
Rangers.
City Manager Matt Ruszczak told
the McAllen Monitor that Hinojosa resigned from the department on November 21
and had been working with the department since 2006.
Investigators told Action 4
News that Hinojosa worked as a supervisor and had sexual contact with a teenage
girl who had enrolled in the police department's Explorer program.
