REFUGIO, Texas — For the first time, a family is speaking out after their 3-day-old infant was allegedly pepper sprayed by a Refugio police officer in March.

“He had that cough, ever since that day,” the boys father, Michael Paredes said.

Paredes said on March 12, then Refugio Police Officer Lee Jordan pulled him over.

He said Lee claimed he was speeding and had a warrant out for his arrest and asked him to get out of the car.

“I said I’m going to use my phone to call for my baby to get picked up,” Paredes said.

Paredes claims the officer told him no.

“I kind of gave him attitude and plus I was still using the phone and I turned to look at him,” Paredes said. “He pepper-sprayed me all in my face and he pepper sprayed Chelsea in the back.”


He said Lee peppered sprayed his wife while she scrambled to get out of the car.

“He sprayed so much,” Paredes said. “It was all on the babies side, all on the babies crib. His face.”

Paredes said Lee then grabbed his wife, who had given birth three days before, and slammed her to the ground.

“I saw him jump with his knee into her back,” Paredes said.

“Chelsea was like purple and I was the one that was like yelling at the cop like 'hey why do you have her like this',” Michael’s sister, Victoria Paredes, said.

His wife was taken to the hospital and later diagnosed with a concussion. He said his son was released by paramedics but the family took him to a hospital in Victoria the next day.

"His eyes were puffy red and his eyes were closed for two weeks or more,” Paredes said.


According to an arrest affidavit, Jordan is charged with injury to a child.

Paredes said he not only wants justice for his son Rico but for his wife.

No charges were filed associated with her injuries.

KRIS 6 reached out and left messages for the Refugio District Attorney and the Refugio Police Department over Paredes' comments but have not received a response as of Thursday evening.

In 2020, Jordan was awarded officer of the year by the Refugio city council.

He will go before the court on Tuesday, October 26.

Some lawyer or cop help me out here.

If the driver had a deadly weapon and the cop grabbed it while pepper spraying, with the same outcome, would he be charged?

Or would it be understood to have been necessary, and having had actually
reduced violence?

If so, was this spraying right or wrong?

"I kind of gave him attitude"
Don't know what he did, but I bet that's an understatement.

Nearly 100% of these incidents are result of people disobeying the police.

Coincidence?

No coincidence.
But, how many go on farther than necessary due to a God complex?
People are [bleep], badge or not.

Obammy started a conflict that is self perpetrating.
Turn certain people against police (more than normal for them),
That, gets a response from the police. Somewhere along the line,
police murders ramp up. Police get more on edge. More attitude,
more defensive.

Where does this end.

My opinion it started with a guy breaking into his own home, in the
middle of the night. Cops "caught" him, and detained him untill
his story checked out. A perfect deal, my opinion.

But the press, and Obamma saw an opportunity!

If you do what an officer says to do when he says to do it, you don’t have problems

I want to know what the outstanding warrant was for.

At leastThree adults in the car with an attitude , one Cop. Two of them women but South Texas women can be mean. One of them apparently got out of the car on her own accord.

I haven’t heard of pepper spray having long term effects.

Them wimmens will cut yer throat in a heartbeat

The operative word here is "attitude" and with adults with attitude problems I can see why pepper spray was used. Would they prefer Bullets instead? We continue to have lots of officers killed by people with "Attitude" problems here and with the invasion we have a very real problem on our hands.

Not always. I watched a video of an officer walk over to a man at a feul pump and ask for his driver's license. The man started to pull out his wallet and the officer shot him. The man laying on the ground shot said "why did you shoot me? I was doing what you asked?

That’s why I don’t speed through Refugio.

And all we have here is the POV of the aggrieved man

Why would he need someone to pick up the baby if his wife was with him? Bullshit story. Edk

If you have a Mexican, an Indian and a Muslim all in the same car, who is driving?





A cop!

Social media and cell telephones. Both have caused me a ton of investigative work while I was an SRO. No matter what I did and why I did it, I was the bad guy even when the evidence was truly against the perpetrators. You can't win against social media. Unless the officer had a camera in his car that video'd the real story this is just another internet call out thread with the police being the bad guys. I'm sure the women in the car felt like they could do what ever they wanted since the officer was out numbered 3 to 1.

Never mind it all because in 10 years there will be no patrol officers. If you are lucky you will get a detective to investigate your murder or the murder of a close relative or friend. There will be no one to take your 911 phone calls or investigate your traffic accidents. It will be up to you to do your own. The bad guys are winning. Accept it. Just what the trial lawyers and democrats have always wanted.

kwg

Most even if they do as told. They got to run that mouth. Hasbeen

Be good sheepel...



Or they will gas your baby.

How you got a whole baby crib inside a car?

Dem Venezuelan folk wad a whole home in a backpack.

Hold on..." I’m going to use my phone to call for my baby to get picked up." but the wife was in the back seat. Also, the sister was there and adding her voice to yelling at the cop. Doesn't add up.

Not defending the officer's actions, but there is more to the story than just 'bad cop mace my kid'.

You live in a country founded on disobedience. The cops are supposed to be able to work around that without assaulting women and children.
