Former Donna ISD Coach Arrested on Assault Charges
Michael Gonzalez, a former coach at Donna High School, is out on bond after being arrested by Weslaco police earlier this morning. The Donna Independent School District (ISD) confirmed the arrest, adding that Gonzalez resigned from his position at the school on the same day.
According to county records, Gonzalez was taken into custody on charges of assault, specifically related to family violence and impeding breath circulation. These serious charges stem from an alleged domestic incident that has drawn attention from both the local community and the school district.
Resignation and Legal Proceedings
Donna ISD has acknowledged the incident, stating that Gonzalez’s resignation was effective immediately following his arrest. The school district has not provided further details but assured the public that they are cooperating with authorities during the investigation.
Gonzalez’s arrest adds to the growing list of coaches and educators across the country facing legal challenges, underscoring the importance of accountability within school systems. Weslaco police are continuing to investigate the situation to determine the next steps.
Bond and Charges
After his arrest, Gonzalez was booked and charged with assault, including family violence and impeding breath circulation, both considered serious offenses under Texas law. He was released on a $2,500 bond shortly after being booked into the county jail.
As the legal process unfolds, Gonzalez will have to answer to these charges in court. Family violence cases, particularly those involving impeding breath, carry significant legal consequences and could result in further penalties if found guilty.
Local authorities and school officials are encouraging anyone with further information regarding the incident to contact Weslaco police.
