EPPD’s Special Investigations Unit said an investigation stemmed from an incident where Minjares allegedly responded to a call for service at a West El Paso hotel in September.
A woman said Minjares “engaged in non-consensual physical conduct of a sexual nature,” EPPD said.
Minjares was placed under arrest for official oppression. He was booked into the El Paso County Detention Facility on a $25,000 bond.
EPPD said Minjares has been placed on unpaid administrative leave.
