A Valley police chief is suing his employer.
Edinburg Police Chief Cesar Torres is suing the city, claiming city leaders are trying to force him out.
Torres attorney said the police chief was instructed on more than one occasion by Edinburg City Manager Ron Garza and Omar Ochoa, the city attorney, not to investigate alleged criminal conduct by another Edinburg Police officer.
The lawsuit says an Edinburg Internal Affairs investigator informed Torres of possible criminal misconduct from a police investigator in September and says last month Garza and Ochoa instructed Torres to leave that matter alone.
