Off-duty LISD PD officer arrested

LAREDO, Tex. (KGNS) - An off-duty Laredo ISD Police officer was arrested following domestic violence allegations.

The arrest occurred Thursday afternoon, March 13, at the 1200 block of Minutemen Dr. when Laredo Police officers responded to a domestic abuse call at around 3 p.m.

During a preliminary investigation, 52-year-old Apolonio Zamora was identified as the suspect when a woman told police a relative assaulted her, leading to her wanting to press charges.

According to Investigator Joe Baeza with Laredo Police, a disagreement led to an argument, eventually becoming physical.

“He was charged with assault, family violence and impeding breath. The victim did wanna press charges. The victim in this particular case is an adult,” Baeza added.

The LISD Police Department was notified of the incident, and Zamora was booked and taken to the Webb County Jail.
