The city said the investigation began on April 29 after an incident on April 23. Private Investigator Donald Baker, a retired Austin Police commander, conducted the investigation.
“While the actions in question did not endanger the public, they did not align with the expectations we hold for leadership in our police department,” said Pflugerville City Manager Sereniah Breland in the release. “We took immediate and appropriate action to address this with the seriousness it deserves.”
