Houston police sergeant arrested by HPD for DWI relieved of duty

HOUSTON – A Houston Police Department sergeant who was arrested by HPD Saturday for driving while intoxicated has been relieved of duty.

Sergeant Kevin Tabora, who was assigned to the Downtown Patrol Division, was booked into the Harris County Jail.

As standard protocol, Tabora was relieved of duty pending an investigation by the Internal Affairs Division.

“HPD holds its officers to the highest standard and will take appropriate action up to, and including, termination,” a statement from the department said.

Tabora was sworn in as an officer in December 2011.

KPRC 2 is working to obtain a mug shot of Tabora.
