A Dallas police officer has been fired after he was arrested last year on an evading arrest charge\u00a0<\/a>connected to an investigation involving an alleged prostitution solicitation, the department announced.<\/p>\n

Senior Cpl. Joshua Gonzalez was terminated during a disciplinary hearing with Chief Daniel Comeaux on Aug. 24, according to Dallas police. The department said Comeaux fired Gonzalez for engaging in adverse conduct related to his arrest for evading arrest or detention in a motor vehicle and for failing to obey a lawful order from a superior officer.<\/p>\n

Gonzalez had been with the Dallas Police Department since August 2010 and was assigned to the Intelligence Division, formerly known as the Criminal Intelligence Division, DPD said.<\/p>\n

Gonzalez was arrested in connection with an Oct. 8, 2025, incident in which patrol officers said they saw a black sedan stopped in the 2600 block of Willowbrook Road near two women they believed were soliciting prostitution, according to an arrest affidavit previously obtained by WFAA<\/a>. \u00a0<\/p>\n

The affidavit states officers attempted to stop the sedan after it allegedly failed to come to a complete stop at a red light. Officers said the vehicle accelerated and did not pull over after they activated their emergency lights. The officers pursued the sedan for about 15 seconds before ending the pursuit.<\/p>\n

Investigators later determined the vehicle was registered to the city of Dallas and assigned to the police department’s Criminal Intelligence Division, according to the affidavit. Police said surveillance video and other evidence identified Gonzalez as the driver.<\/p>\n

Gonzalez turned himself in at the Dallas County Jail in April 2026<\/a> after a warrant was issued. He had previously been placed on administrative leave while the department conducted an internal investigation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Dallas police officer has been fired after he was arrested last year on an evading arrest charge\u00a0connected…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":1022615,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[5135],"tags":[5229,12499,1596,14842,159274,6460,409117,7463,358,3187,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":["post-1022614","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-dallas","tag-america","tag-city-of-dallas","tag-dallas","tag-dallas-police","tag-daniel-comeaux","tag-gonzalez","tag-intelligence-division","tag-police-department","tag-texas","tag-tx","tag-united-states","tag-united-states-of-america","tag-unitedstates","tag-unitedstatesofamerica","tag-us","tag-usa"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/117154771670587535","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1022614","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1022614"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1022614\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1022615"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1022614"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1022614"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1022614"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
