SAN MARCOS, Texas — Arrest affidavits reveal new details about the March 14 traffic stop that led to the arrest and subsequent ICE detention of a 44-year-old man in San Marcos.According to the affidavits, an officer responded at approximately 3:55 a.m. to 1800 Post Rd., where a caller reported her 15-year-old daughter was attempting to leave the apartment and get into a red truck.On the way to the scene, the officer spotted a red truck and confirmed the license plate matched the caller's report. He initiated a traffic stop near the intersection of Aquarena Springs Drive and Charles Austin Drive.The driver, identified in the affidavit as Esteban Victor Reyes, 17, refused repeated commands to exit the vehicle. Video recorded by the family during the stop captures part of that exchange, with an officer telling the teen to get out of the truck “for case law,” prompting the teen to question what that meant.His father, Gerardo Gonzalez Reyes, 44, who was seated in the passenger seat, grabbed Esteban’s right arm and physically prevented officers from removing him from the truck, the affidavit states. The document also says Gerardo repeatedly told officers they would not be taking Esteban out of the vehicle.Video recorded during the stop shows Gerardo holding onto his son, but does not appear to show him telling officers they would not be taking Esteban out of the truck. In the recording, he can be heard asking why his son was being treated that way and saying he is a minor."I approached the driver's side door and again ordered Esteban to exit the vehicle," the officer wrote in the affidavit. "He continued to refuse lawful commands. I then reached into the vehicle and physically removed Esteban, consistent with the authority established in Pennsylvania v. Mimms, which permits officers to order a driver out of a lawfully stopped vehicle."“He’s my son. Why are you treating him that way? What did he do to you?” he can be heard saying in the recording. “He is a minor. He is only 17.”Both Esteban and his father were arrested on charges of interference with public duties and transported to the Hays County Law Enforcement Center."Based on the totality of the circumstances, I believe Esteban, with criminal negligence, impeded my lawful duties as a peace officer by refusing repeated lawful commands to exit the vehicle during a traffic stop. Gerardo further impeded officers by physically preventing the removal of Esteban from the vehicle," the officer said in the affidavit.PREVIOUS COVERAGE | San Marcos protesters call for man’s release from ICE custody after false reportFWA SM arrest affidavit full 10pm hit re-edited pkg (1)Authorities later determined that the 15-year-old girl had never left her residence. The family says the teen is Esteban’s girlfriend and that he had gone to the apartment to drop off items, but she never came outside.The arrest has had a significant impact on the family, who say the situation should not have escalated.“It’s tearing us apart day by day,” said his wife, San Juan Escalante.His daughter also expressed frustration with how the situation was handled.“If you're asking where your kid is, look, actually look into your house before having somebody's life turned upside down," said Gerardo's daughter, Guadalupe Sarinana.After the pair was booked into the jail, the arresting officer learned that Gerardo Gonzalez Reyes was subject to an existing immigration detainer issued by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. SMPD said the officer was not aware of the detainer while on scene. "The department had no role in or knowledge of the immigration enforcement involving ICE, as this occurred post-booking into the Hays County Jail," the police department said in a statement."The San Marcos Police Department is committed to protecting the rights and dignity of every person in our community. It is the SMPD policy that no one will be detained or arrested based solely on immigration status or non-criminal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) request. SMPD officers may only ask about immigration status during lawful detention or arrest, and only when appropriate. Victims of crimes and witnesses are not asked about their immigration status unless it protects their safety or directly helps an investigation. "Gonzalez Reyes remains in federal custody pending removal proceedings, according to the Department of Homeland Security, which cited prior DWI convictions in 2004 and 2005.The case has drawn protests and scrutiny of local law enforcement's cooperation with federal immigration authorities. In a letter dated April 2 and addressed to ICE Field Office Director Miguel Vergara, Hays County Judge Ruben Becerra wrote that he was "extremely troubled" by the circumstances.In a letter dated April 2 and addressed to ICE Field Office Director Miguel Vergara, Hays County Judge Ruben Becerra wrote that he was "extremely troubled" by the circumstances.

His three children are U.S. citizens, Becerra wrote."As an immigrant myself, I write to ask that you compassionately exercise discretion in this circumstance, as ICE has rightly done on numerous occasions, by reunifying this hurting family," Becerra wrote.Becerra said he has also contacted SMPD Chief Stan Standridge and the Hays County Commissioners Court, urging them to communicate their concerns to ICE and support the family's reunification.The family has started a GoFundMe to help pay for their Dad's legal support.You can view it here.
