The details

According to an affidavit, on October 8, 2025, two officers on patrol saw a sedan driven by Gonzalez stopped on the side of the road, appearing to solicit two women for prostitution. When the officers tried to stop the car, Gonzalez sped off. The car was registered to the City of Dallas and assigned to the police department's Criminal Intelligence Division. Cellphone records showed Gonzalez drove directly home to Waxahachie after the incident. The next day, Gonzalez was seen again failing to stop along Royal Lane, and he identified himself to the officers who pulled him over.
