Family says sex offender treated unfairly by police

4-28-2014 Texas:

An Edinburg woman claims the police department is treating her husband unfairly when it comes to registering as a sex offender.

Victor Salinas did verify as the sex offender unit Monday morning, but his wife, Maria said the process was very inconvenient.

Maria Salinas's husband, Victor, has been a registered sex offender since 2002.

"He has to register for life as a sex offender so we're doing that, but we've been doing fine. We were doing that with county and we never had an issue," said Maria Salinas.

That all changed with their home was annexed into the city of Edinburg about four months ago. Maria said both she and Victor told the investigator they could not make the appointment the police department had scheduled for Victor to verify his sex offender registration.

She told Action 4 that's when an investigator "threatened" to issue an arrest warrant.

"He just told me, ‘I don’t care, I don’t care what it is. You can’t change it, but if he doesn’t show up, I will have him arrested."
