Veteran Sherman Police Officer Charged

A Sherman peace officer turns himself in to the police department. The seven-year veteran is accused of interfering with an emergency call, a call investigators say his wife was making. KTEN's Deeda Payton has been following this story.

At a news conference Wednesday afternoon, Sherman police Sergeant Bruce Dawsey said the law is the law and it doesn't matter your occupation. He adds that the particular officer involved has never been in trouble with the department before.

Tuesday, a warrant was issued for Federico Guedea.

The 42 year-old turned himself in to the Grayson county jail just before seven Tuesday night. He posted a $1,500 bond and was released the same day.

On August 15th, Sherman Police say that dispatchers got a 911 call from a cell phone... a woman was heard crying and a male voice yelling... then the phone went dead.

Sergeant Dawsey explains how police responded.

"A 911 call was received. It was an open line and officers could hear voices over the phone that they recognized as Michelle and Freddy Guedea so they knew how to respond..typical of a cell phone."

No injuries were reported... only a cell phone was found broken.

Sergeant Dawsey says this isn't the first time fellow officers have responded to the Guedea's residence.

I am also told they do have a small child. It is unknown whether the child was in the home at the time of the incident.

Guedea is currently on paid administrative leave, pending the outcome of the police department's internal investigation.
