10.18.2006 - TUCSON, Ariz. -- An 11-year veteran of the Tucson Police Department was arrested on suspicion of drug possession.
Officer Estevan A. Marquez, 38, was brought in for questioning by internal investigators and booked Tuesday on one count each of possession of marijuana, possession of a narcotic drug and possession of narcotic paraphernalia.
The suspected narcotic was being tested to determine exactly what it was, said department spokeswoman Lt. Vicki Reza, declining to say when or where the drugs were found.
"Officers are held to a higher standard, and that's the expectation from the department and the community," Reza said. "We cannot and will not tolerate criminal behavior by one of our own."
