Freddie Guedea
A | A | A

SHERMAN, Tex. -- A Sherman police officer turned himself in to his own co-workers earlier this week. Weeks of investigation led up to the law enforcer's arrest.

Sherman police say they received a 9-1-1 call August 15. They could hear a woman crying in the background, and a man yelling.

They recognized his voice as one of their own.

Freddie Guedea turned himself into police Tuesday charged with interfering with an emergency call. Police say Guedea broke the cell phone while the line was still connected to police.

Police are handing the criminal investigation over to the Grayson County District Attorney's Office.

"With any incident, of course, we're going to investigate it like any other incident. Of course with it involving a department officer, it will include an internal investigation," Sgt. Bruce Dawsey of the Sherman Police Department says.

Police say this was not the first domestic disturbance call from Guedea's residence. No one was injured and no charges were filed for any previous incident.

Guedea could face fines or prison time if convicted of interfering with an emergency call. He has been placed on administrative leave during the internal investigation.

I have known Freddie for a long time. Any one who is married knows that we have had some major fights. I have, does this make us bad people. Dont judge a book by the cover and always get BOTH sides of the story. Freddie all this will pass. Hang in there...

Yes Freddie, we wish you all the best. We are praying for you and your family.

This is typical of people to judge by what they think they know. Police Officers are not Superman...they have normal lives & relationships...some people are never happy & my opinion is this was an intetional act on her part...sometimes you just know!! Good luck Freddie you are a sweetheart & just remember you can't make everybody happy!

I think everyone should mind their own business and let the courts handle it. And a tip to everyone that can't type or spell. Those red squiggly lines are a HUGE hint that you screwed up somewhere.

This is the stupidest thing I've heard in along time. When did being quick with the ladies become a crime? The ladies probably persued him (badge bunnies). I do not know this officer but give him a break. If hes found guilty(in court) then thats one thing. Some of you people need to get a job and turn off the computer.

Read again. I have never indicated in any way that charges of spousal abuse were filed. I did reitereate that charges were filed because someone kept insisting that there were no charges filed but I never said they were for spousal abuse. Just because I say I despise spousal abuse does not mean I am considering him guilty of it. That is a generic statement. I despise spousal abuse. With all that said, I believe this needs to be investigated further. I am not saying he is guilty of spousal abuse but with his history or prior relationships, those accusations, prior calls for police to his house, and the fact that he slapped a phone from a females hand tells me he might have an issue. I have been involved with law enforcement a long time and usually where you see a lot of smoke, there is a fire. That is not a judgement against him, the law can handle that. The fact remains that even if he did nothing but slap her hand and interrupt the 911 call, he deserves to be punished. READ!

“Grayson County is FULL of politics, some get away with everything, [and] the innocent are crucified.” (Just like the Sherman Day Care Center) As stated below, yes that is true and correct, and just like the other example given early: “Y'all had forgotten what happen with the adult probation officer that recently was fired from the Grayson County adult probation office? After she did what she did, she just got another nice job in another department within the county, with a nice boss if I may add. That is how business are done around here.” City and County are more worried about their image –including their salaries – then to do the right thing for the community. The right thing or proper action in this case is to dismiss the officer FG without prejudice and right away get some rules and regulation against questionable behavior for any county, or city employee…that way in the future, we all have an understanding about what is to be expected of city and county employees.

AGAIN I SAY SHE DID NOT PRESS CHARGES OF SPOUSAL ABUSE. THAT IS NOT WHAT HE IS BEING CHARGED WITH. HE IS BEING CHARGED WITH INTERFERING WITH A 911 CALL. THERE WERE NO INJURIES!!! HE WAS ARGUEING WITH HIS WIFE, IF SHE DIDN'T PRESS CHARGES WHY DO YOU PEOPLE KEEP BRINGING IT UP??? SO JUDGE, PLEASE LEARN TO READ AND COMPREHEND THE STORY.

Some of these comments amaze me. Its comical how everytime there is something about law enforcement on KXII there are so many comments condeming what these men and women do. Im sure the reason for that is the only way you have ever met any of these ppl is from them either visiting your home or you breaking the law and being pulled over. These are men and women same as you and I. Yes, because of thier career choice they are held to higher standards, however they are human. The same issues that affect us affect them. If this had been just a normal citizen, nothing would have come of it. I agree this needs to be investigated, but I also think this is a personal matter to be handled with his employer and himself. If SPD deems it necessary for him not to be with the SPD anymore then so be it, but its not up to you all. I really wish you guys that judge cops so badly would do ride alongs with them. You would see first hand what they go thru instead you just sit back and judge. What a shame.
Posted by: Judge on Sep 9, 2008 at 10:29 AM
Public servant = Public information. This is our business. A crime is a crime and if commited by a public servant then by law it is open record. I agree you cannot expect someone to be perfect because they are a police officer but you can expect them to be punished for breaking a law just like anyone else. I despise spousal abuse. It is a cowardly act.

It's not personal anymore when it ends up on KXII. PD should have kept it underwraps if they did not want all the talk about it.

Grayson man, just for your knowledge a cop can't have a dwi on his record. That is a state law. If he got pulled over he must have gotten it dropped to a Public intox. That would be the only way he could still be an officer. If he somehow does have dwi's on his record that he actually got convicted of you should contact TCLOESE. but again it would have had to be a conviction, and arrest doesn't always mean conviction.

Funny how in school we were friends but once he put on the uniform he became like most, above his old friends. Many times I have seen him in public and said hello only to be brushed off. Karma is a WONDERFUL thing.
Posted by: that's what happens on Sep 6, 2008 at 12:13 PM
When you are a public official and your City or department heads don't try to keep it internal it's going to end up on the news. If department heads would make it clear that this was not to be a public issue it would not leak out so quickly. Either way, I don't know the guy but all you people that say "I know Freddie", do you REALLY know him or just know one side of him? People are not always as they appear. Many do not show their tempers to others.

Thank goodness for a women who intervened the summer of 04 when Freddie lost his cool and became abusive with his girlfriend. Cops were called and they said he was walking a tightrope at that time. Two weeks later he married Michelle,who he divorced in 06. It takes some men and women years to learn.
Posted by: Sherry Location: Sherman on Sep 5, 2008 at 06:58 PM
I know Freddy he is good with those kids at the high school and he is a good cop. What is going on is Michell and Freddy's private life being made public by a bunch of people that need to keep their own thoughts to themselves. The police will handle this mess everyone should BUT OUT!!!!!
Posted by: Christina Location: Sherman on Sep 5, 2008 at 06:50 PM
I kind of agree with the person who said "because he is one way at home ( so they say) doesnt mean he is not a great cop." Regardless of you being a friend, I applaud you for saying "so they say". Who are we to assume someone is a criminal? And the person who said he looks like a criminal? Are you kidding me? What does a criminal look like? Have you ever gotten in trouble for anything? Then a criminal looks like you. I know nothing about this man except the reports on tv. If he is in fact guilty of abuse, then I don't believe he should be a policeman based solely on the belief that anyone who abuses someone has a temper problem, and no one can tell when that will cause a problem. Even the best people have skeletons in their closet. I think everyone would do well to remember that. Any of you being judgemental need to take a look at your own life. I am pretty sure you aren't perfect.

In response to 'friend' and 'to you people' and any others who have suggested the rest of us go back and read the article again... Perhaps you should re-read our statements, as well as the article. He, Officer Guedea, has never been charged with domestic violence. Who's looking dumber and dumber? ;-)
Posted by: David Location: Sherman on Sep 5, 2008 at 05:48 PM
Officer Guedea will be fine. Just over ten years ago another SPD officer comitted the same offense not once but twice within 3 months. And guess what, he is now Guedea's PATROL CAPTAIN. Somethings never change at SPD. GET AN OUTSIDE POLICE CHIEF TO STRAIGHTEN OUT THIS MESS.

First of all let me say that I know Freddy and he is a good guy. Is he a saint? The answer is no, but then again neither am I or any of the people who posted here! Amen to all the not casting stones comments. Now lets discuss the facts in the news report (which was done by a news agency known for biased reports)it says Freddy broke the phone while connected to police, however were they there to witness this? How do we know his wife didn't break the phone either by throwing it at him or on purpose with the intent to get him in trouble as she is a correctional officer who knows the law and as testified to here by people who know her she has issues herself. Did Freddy make some bad decisions it sounds like he may have, but that is not illegal and I for one have not heard enough proof yet to convict! Unfortunately too many people like to hang people and cast stones before they know the full story.

To "his Friend" from Texas, you must not know a lot about domestic violence issues. One of the problems with it is that the victims rarely file charges because they are threatened with their life if they do! And being that he is a cop, the chances of charges being filed are less because of his position. Unless you have been a victim of domestic violence, none of you know what goes on or the circumstances involved! There is obviously an issue with his violence if there have been many 911 calls in the past. I do hope the Sherman PD does not allow him back on the force!
Posted by: Judge on Sep 5, 2008 at 01:09 PM
All you people who keep saying that no charges were filed need to read this again. No charges for the PREVIOUS incidents. For this incident charges were filed. And I quote "Freddie Guedea turned himself into police Tuesday CHARGED with interfering with an emergency call." There is obviously a problem here. Police officers do not charge one of there own unless they absolutely have to. The fact that they went to the extent they did against a fellow officer tells me that something bad happened here.
Posted by: his friend Location: texas, US on Sep 5, 2008 at 12:44 PM
Officer Guedea is a good person from personal experience. He was one of the nicest officers at my high school while i was there a few yrs ago. The news reported..."No one was injured and no charges were filed for any previous incident." No charges should show that it obviously wasn't something to worry about. Someone broke my cell phone before and i didnt file any charges... The Ch.12 news is making a small situation bigger than it is to have something to report about as usual. That is what's expected from small town news. MR. J FROM SHERMAN, WHO ARE YOU TO PUT SOMEONE ELSE'S NAME OUT WITH LIES?? THE ARTICLE DOESNT' HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH GUEDEA'S CLASSMATES OR THEIR BROTHER FOR ANY REASON. YOU HAVE TOO MUCH TIME ON YOUR HANDS, WHAT A LOW LIFE!
Posted by: Michelle Location: Fannin County on Sep 5, 2008 at 12:30 PM
I have known Freddie for several years now and am very disapointed in his actions. Officers are not above the law but should hold themselves in a higher standard. Freddie, I pray that you and your family are able to resolve your issues and unit as one again.

Posted by: ashley Location: sherman on Sep 5, 2008 at 08:38 AM
Cop or no cop, he should be punished if he did have anything to do with domestic violence. Some of you are right....this should be an internal issue not for the public to handle.

FREDDIE IS A GOOD FRIEND OF MINE. I HAVE KNOWN HIM SINCE HIGH SCHOOL. I WOULD TRUST HIM WITH MY LIFE. I KNOW HE IS LEVEL HEADED. HE IS A GOOD PERSON. FREDDIE, I KNOW THIS WILL PASS AND I WILL ALWAYS PRAY FOR YOU. PLEASE DO THE SAME FOR ME.
Posted by: to you people on Sep 5, 2008 at 06:51 AM
You just look dumber and dumber. The part you read is in reference to "previous" calls. This story plainly states that he WAS CHARGED in this incident. You are a blubbering idiot.
Posted by: Josh Location: sherman on Sep 5, 2008 at 06:49 AM
He broke the law he don't need to be a cop anymore. see this is what happens everyone nows him so he will get off but the thing is he broke a law and it's not a class c so it should cost him his job.
Posted by: Anonymous on Sep 5, 2008 at 05:05 AM
he violated the 911 abuse law. that is all that is at stake, not his relationship with his wife or hie ex-girlfriends. he violated a law and is expected to be punished just like any average citizen.
Posted by: Sherman Gal Location: Sherman on Sep 4, 2008 at 11:03 PM
Freddie's a good cop. One of the best. A man that treats you fair even in a bad situation. Its hard to know what to believe. Not knowing the whole story makes it hard to believe Freddie has done something so wrong. What happened to families working through a problem without all the drama. Everyone is going to fuss and fight if they live together. Are cops different? I hope all is cleared up soon and Freddie is back to work soon.
Posted by: friend Location: sherman, tx on Sep 4, 2008 at 10:07 PM
Supportive friend aren't you aware Freddie tells people what he thinks they want to hear and not necessarily the truth. If you don't know that he is a habitual liar, you aren't a close friend. By the way, his wife hasn't worked law enforcement in a few years. When was the last time you saw Old Freddie. The guy is SCUM.
Posted by: Mary Location: Sherman on Sep 4, 2008 at 10:07 PM
The thing that I think bothers me the most is when my 16 yo daughter looked over my shoulder and saw the picture. She said Hey, that's office Freddie, he's so cool why's his picture on the internet for? She read the story and was pretty upset. It's hard to tell a teen that you do what your told and not what you see and hear. She has always been taught to respect police officers but then something like this happens and she wonders why she ever respected him in the first place. Yeah Yeah we all make mistakes but if they want our respect they have to earn it and I could never respect a man no matter who it is that does what he did.
Posted by: Friend Location: Sherman on Sep 4, 2008 at 09:47 PM
I have faith that the investigation will find Freddie innocent. Regardless of his personal like he is a good cop. George Bush is a nice man but horrible President,Amy Whitehouse great singer horrible person,so you see just because he is one way at home ( so they say) doesnt mean he is not a great cop. By the way Dr. Hambrick getting kicked out of a boys club basketball game didnot keep him from becoming Superintendt. Bill Majors has had problems of his own. Freddie what ever else is a great cop

Posted by: supportive friend Location: Sherman on Sep 4, 2008 at 05:53 PM
He's a good man, nothing more, nothing less. His profession is irrelevant to the situation. If there were cause on previous occasions, he would have been charged with domestic violence. If there had been cause on this occasion, he would have been arrested and charged with domestic violence. His wife's reputation precedes her. She, too, is a member of law enforcement and has the knowledge and connections to disparage his reputation by demanding he be charged with interference. Everyone who knows the situation is aware of her feeble attempt to ruin him. This was the best they could do to appease her, an improvable charge. Her word, or his? Who's to say he wasn't restraining her from harming herself, or him? He deserves an apology from the Grayson County Attorney's Office and full reinstatement. Freddie, I hope you're not reading this, but in the event you are... Your friends are your friends, always will be, you have our thoughts, prayers, and love.

What couple has not fought in their time together. Give me a break. For Fred to turn himself in shows a lot. Most people would hide out that had something to hide. Fred is a good cop. Give the dude a break.
Posted by: concerned citizen Location: sherman on Sep 4, 2008 at 05:28 PM
The man has a horrible track record with women. He needs serious counseling and anger management help. His many kids don't deserve being brough up around a man who can't control himself and his actions. He needs to find employment elsewhere because he could "blow" when he is around kids or even adults.
Posted by: Waiting for more info... on Sep 4, 2008 at 05:24 PM
I don't know what "he said she said", except what is reported in the media. But what I do know is that if I needed an officer & just from what I've seen the last 5 years, I would be relieved if Freddie responded. In fact, there are very few SPD officers that would not give me a sense of relief and well-being in a time of need. Don't be so ugly about this until you have more facts and even then, remember that someday someone might just put your dirty laundry on public display.

Sorry it took me so long to reply to all my fans. Having a job and all kind of makes it hard to come to this circus o crap very often. My reading comprehension is fine and I did read the story. I really like the part where it says no one was hurt and no charges were filed just as I had stated in my first post. And observer if you care to look it appears to me that since I was the 4th post I must have posted before the other 43 posts that follow.

Just because your job title doesn't make the person. He is a human being. At least he man upped to his behavior. I call that a cry for help. People through hints all the time and others don't do anything until its to later. Don't judge someone on a mistake or a mishap none of us are perfect.

Freddie is one of the policeman we have hear at the school. I have found him to be very "forgiving" with these kids. He is pretty well liked because of that. Those of you who are so quick to hang him, how do you know what happened. Who made you judge and jury? Whitesboro, what do you know about this except what was in the paper. Judge not least you be judged. And many of the rest of you don't even know him or his wife. Back away people. Besides, if the police in Sherman are so bad, why don't some of you join the force and fix it?

I want to 1st to say,"no one on earth is perfect execpt one person and that one is God". It has been now about one year since I have lived in this town. Where I work I come in contact with some of the SPD and all are very nice and when they leave, I tell them to becareful and safe; why due to the fact that I did a ride-a-long, where you go to work with a police officer on a shift. I did not know all the things they have to deal with, people driving while drunk with a kid in the back seat of a car, parents with drugs in the trunk also with kids in the car, young men robbing gas staion for the beer and running away so they don't get busted and the list keeps going on and on. We don't know all the facts about this matter,she said, he said thing. I don't know Freddie as long as some of you folks do. I would stand behind Freddie any day. I ask that we give our police the support they need due to the fact they do protect us from the bad guys. Freddie got your back dude.

To Victim of DV. How dare you say he has had problems in the past. And to say you want him to be a cop in your town. Our police force isn't the greatest and some do have some pasts that would FREAK you out!

I met Freddie once and found out in less than 3 minutes he was arrogant and a bully with youg boys. I don't know his wife, however if he treats her the way I saw him with a 14 year old troubled boy,she's in my thoughts and prayers.
Posted by: Victim of Domestic Violence Location: Whitesboro on Sep 4, 2008 at 01:57 PM
There is no excuse for domestic violence. He has had problems with this in the past. He may be a nice person but he does not deserve to wear a badge. He should lose his job and never be able to be a police officer again, anywhere. It is obvious he can not abide by the law so why would you want him as an officer. He needs to find a new career and get some help. I would hate to know that he was a cop in my town!!!!

Ok to all the cop wives, who say that this is not a problem of cops, then you should read some of the stats out there. Just google something like police families and domestic violence, and you will see this is a problem. You don't have to be married to a cop to read! Here is an example: http://www.officer.com/web/online/Top-News-Stories/Domestic-Violence-Rampant-in-Police-Families--Statistics-Show/1$37573

Come on..if you are going to stick up for a guy who beats his wife or say that just cause it happens every once in a while that doesn't make him a bad guy.....you are STUPID & need to get a clue!!!! If he did do this, he deserves to go to jail or have someone kick his ass just like he did his wife's..... & if he has done this before and she stayed with him...then she's stupid.

look him up on grayson county website.. hes been charged w/ acbi (assault causing bodily injury) before.. he's got a temper and he's an a$$...

I don't have tolerance for domestic violence against a spouse from ANYONE. For those of you saying we should not blow this out of proportion just because he is a cop, I say we should blow ANY case of spousal abuse out of proportion and make it stop. I am not saying he is guilty but if it is decided that he is, he should PAY.

He's not the only cop in sherman that has broke a cell phone,There is one that was messing around with my son phone while he was arrested and broke it was he arrested no so leave Freddie alone
Posted by: Been There Location: Sherman on Sep 4, 2008 at 11:27 AM
Plenty of "nice guys" do bad things. Just because they are under stress doesn't make it ok. Just because the woman is manipulative, doesn't make it ok. If he can't handle the pressure of marriage or his job, he shouldn't be in those positions. A divorce doesn't make the media like abuse.
Posted by: Curious Location: Texas on Sep 4, 2008 at 11:26 AM
Is this the same Freddie that was a bouncer at Calhoon's many moons ago? If so this does not surprise me at all he was quite the womanizer back then and was not a very respectful person either.
Posted by: Regular Joe Location: Tom Bean on Sep 4, 2008 at 11:07 AM
Well that I do agree that police officers should be commended for performing a job that many would not wish to do. It is also a choice. Thousands of working families make the choices each day to go to work, deal with frustrations at work and home, and then CHOOSE not to end them in verbal or domestic violence. This makes someone an unheralded hero. It takes a MAN to walk away and choose not to commit acts such as those done by this officer. Can I get a "whoop whoop"?

For those of you that keep asking why domestic charges weren't filed, you don't know much about the law do you? The woman involved has to file charges, not the police officers. So the interference was the only thing they could pin on him. And yes some cops do stupid stuff, but not all cops! They are like any other human, just when they mess up the media blows it out of proportion. I mean reallY if the paper boy got into a arguement with his wife and broke the phone it wouldn't be news worthy and neither should this. MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS!!!

Here is what is going to happen to him: He would get his job back, not with SPD, no. He will get another position/job within the city of Sherman or with the county. You all had forgotten what happen with the adult probation officer that recently was fired from the Grayson County adult probation? After she did what she did, she just got another nice job in another department within the county, with a nice boss if I may add. That how they take care of business around here.
Posted by: JMO on Sep 4, 2008 at 10:37 AM
Man the accusations are flying. Steroids, previous history of spousal abuse. You people better know what you are talking about before you go making those types of accusations.

So wht to all the cop lovers and those who say they know this wife beater. You all do not know wht goes on in people household. His wife didn't call 911 just to be calling, she had a reason and if he wasn't hurting her...then why in the hell did he hang up the phone. And remember this "Police say this was not the first domestic disturbance call from Guedea's residence." THEY SAID THIS WE DIDN'T...

Sometimes women want to call 911 just for being yelled at. I'm sorry, but bringing the police out for being yelled at is stupid.
Posted by: me Location: ok on Sep 4, 2008 at 09:17 AM
to mom. sorry you have missed out on all the nice people i have known that happen to have a job in law enforcement. I am married to a cop and there certainly is no violence in my home. quit listening to all the bad stories. there's a bad apple in all professional populations.
Posted by: Anonymous on Sep 4, 2008 at 08:55 AM
GOOD GUY OR NOT!! IF THIS WAS ANYONE ELSE THEY WOULD HAVE ALREADY BEEN ARRESTED BY NOW. AS FAR AS THE F.D. STUFF HE SHOULD THROWN IN JAIL LIKE ANYONE ELSE I SURE WOULDN'T WANT THAT MAN TRYING TO SAVE MY LIFE IF HE WAS IMPAIRED CAUSE IF YOU DIED UNDER HIS WATCH YOU OR ANYONE ELSE FOR THAT MATTER WOULDN'T OF EVER SUSPECTED HIM TO BE ON DRUGS. ITS AMAZING HOW SOME PEOPLE THINK THEY ARE ABOVE THE LAW AND DO GET TREATED BETTER THAN OTHERS.
Posted by: anon on Sep 4, 2008 at 08:52 AM
If no charges were filed then why was he arrested? News to me that anyone, especially a police officer, can be arrested without charges being filed.
Posted by: another moron posting here on Sep 4, 2008 at 08:42 AM
mom- you obviously have limited knowledge of cops , its based on bias and ignorance.
Posted by: Former Location: Officer on Sep 4, 2008 at 08:19 AM
All I can say is 'Roid Rage.. It doens't matter if anyone was harmed or not, verbal abuse can be just as damaging as physical abuse. If this was not the first incident, why hasn't this guy been reprimanded or he and his wife been sent to counseling??
Posted by: Hello on Sep 4, 2008 at 08:10 AM
Things like this happen everyday to other people. I don't see the media reporting them. Let's face facts being a cop is hard, because you have to solve stupid people's problems, parent their punk kids when they don't. The point is this cops bust their humps doing a job that most of you don't have the guts to, so unless you were there and know ALL the facts then SHUT UP. Unless YOU are perfect and live in a glass house don't throw stones
Posted by: Me Location: sherman on Sep 4, 2008 at 08:00 AM
I agree with stephfon. He does his job well and is fair. I was given a ticket for speeding 3 years ago from him, but he took the time to explain how it was me and not the other car, basically how the laser works. Most cops wouldnt care and have you go on your way. Cops are human and make mistakes just like all of us.
Posted by: tracy Location: denison on Sep 4, 2008 at 07:12 AM
Good guy? He's just another arrogant cop who thinks he's untouchable. Not that I feel sorry for Michelle, that's what she gets for messing around w/ a married man, but Freddie needs to be put in his place. He doesn't set a very good example for a police officer and I love the way Sherman PD "investigated" the incident, even though they knew who it was. If if was anyone else, they would have been arrested that same night.
Posted by: Chuck Location: Sherman on Sep 4, 2008 at 06:10 AM
I know him, and this doesnt sound like the guy I know. He has always been polite and seemed to have the city's well being at heart.

HA HA HA ,what go's around comes back around ,but I wonder did he get to go inside a cell like anyone else would or did he get special treatment?

Question, all he did was broke a phone? I am sure his wife didn't call 911 just because he broke her phone. There was more to it than that. C'mon now.
Posted by: Anonymous Location: SHERMAN on Sep 4, 2008 at 04:48 AM
he is still drawing a pay check,and he's got time to move on to another city,and do the same thing.VIOLENCE is wrong there should be no double standerd.A TRASH MAN FOR THE CITY WOULD GET FIRED (WITH NO PAY)
Posted by: Sean on Sep 4, 2008 at 01:06 AM
This is not the first time a local officer has has legal trouble,heck Denison still has an officer on the force that has had 2 dwi's.Police are human as well and make mistakes just like anyone else.It is an internal matter not one for the public to interfer.Let the powers that be handle thier own!!!!

Not all police officers are good and that is sad just look at Boswell Oklahoma police dept.
Posted by: Fellow Officer Location: Grayson County on Sep 3, 2008 at 11:49 PM
Officer Guedea is a good guy and great officer. This is awful that he is being put through this. Just because he had a warrant doesnt mean he is guilty of a crime. The DA'S office has to prove he commited a crime. I hope Sherman backs there fellow officer here and if he is found not guilty of anything allows him to come back to work.
Posted by: anonymous Location: Durant on Sep 3, 2008 at 11:48 PM
Cops are suppose to enforce laws. It's common knowledge his anger has been an issue in each of his marriages. Nice guy, but has an issue with loyalty, too. His adult life has been charming one female after another. Freddie has a problem and needs professional counseling. Mom, I agree that a lot of cops have a reputation for domestic violence.
Posted by: Anonymous on Sep 3, 2008 at 10:53 PM
THIS is a great police officer. Him and his wife are a great couple. I'm sure that every couple have their issues, it just so happen that this occurred at a time that/when most of our police officer are overworked and they been under so much stress. THey should be able to receive counseling for their type of job, especially after all the traffic accidents in the area; 40 and counting in last 3 weeks(do not forget the bus) I hope everything goes well for both of them.
Posted by: Mark Location: Sherman on Sep 3, 2008 at 10:50 PM
Interfering with an emergency call is a crime. I wonder how many people Freddie has arrested for that same offense? I'm glad to see him being held accountable for his actions.
Posted by: Carol Location: Coalgate on Sep 3, 2008 at 10:46 PM
Let's get all of the facts before we hang this man. Too many people jump to a conclusion before all of the facts are in.

Unless you are married to a "Cop" I guess you would really not know how they are!"MOM"-I am married to a "Police Officer" and he is the best husband and father I could ever ask for. Maybe you should not believe ever "reputation" you hear.

it was his phone and his ph bill but a 911 violation. look at your ph bill and see if you pay a 911 charge. it may be disguised as a federal charge?

there always been signs you don't see it till it's to late. i got out be for it was to late. that was in 1993. just think they didn't have warning back then. good or bad it does'nt matter

Guedea is a good man and officer!! As they have said no harm was done and no charges have been filed. FREE FREDDIE
Posted by: just me on Sep 3, 2008 at 10:06 PM
Everyone needs to listen to both side of the story. His wife is no angel herself, she is a very manipulative person and doesn't deserve a good guy like Freddie. Freddie is a great guy that deserves to be treated better. He may have done something wrong, but I think that this has been carried way too far by Sherman PD. If they spent half the time investigating other cases as much as they did this one, maybe there would be less criminals on the street. I'm praying for Freddie to get through this hard time.
Posted by: Mr.J Location: sherman on Sep 3, 2008 at 10:02 PM
hmm,lets see, i know freddie's ex-wife,and she can tell you about the abuse.he was on steriods in hes younger days.Him and leon goodman (cop also) both were, i went to school with leons brother.sterioids make u violent,and so does becoming a cop., Pigs..

It may be nothing, but until you have been around someone that can't control their temper and frightens you, don't blow it off so quickly. Someone can be a "great guy" to those that have not seen the other side of him, you never know.
Posted by: Ralph Location: Sherman, TX on Sep 3, 2008 at 09:28 PM
To "you people", laws are laws. He didn't just "break a phone", you probably need to go back and read what he is charged with.
Posted by: LJ Location: Sherman on Sep 3, 2008 at 09:26 PM
He's a cop, so instead of being arrested right away and hauled to jail he gets to go about business as usual for nearly 3 weeks while it's being "investigated" by his co-workers....typical!!! Great representative for Sherman PD!
Posted by: Citizen Location: Sherman on Sep 3, 2008 at 09:12 PM
I know this cop too and let me tell you this isn't the first time he has abused his wife or girlfriend. But it is the first time Sherman investigated it. Before it was just "swept under the rug". Don't let one bad cop ruin it for all the good cops.
Posted by: Anonymous on Sep 3, 2008 at 09:12 PM
Wow....the police dept should be ashamed for not standing up for there own. I know some of them do. Lets arrest someone for breaking a phone, but leave the thieves and druggies on our streets! I think this is a private matter and people including the news stations should mind their own business...
Posted by: Anonymous Location: Sherman on Sep 3, 2008 at 08:49 PM
"Anonymous" breaking the law LOL!!! That is what every stinkin cop does and not just in Grayson County, how many times have you seen a cop drive down the highway and speed passed you and the speed limit is 70 and he is going to the store or going to get something to eat, or how many times have you seen cops not wearing their seat belts, please don't tell me that this is just one cop that breaks the law I haven't seen one yet that hasn't broken the law and no one can do anything about it, because they think they have the authority to do it
Posted by: Concerned Parent and Citizen Location: Sherman on Sep 3, 2008 at 08:41 PM
"you people," this was not the first "mistake" or visit police have had to make to his house. Because he is one of their own, it must have crossed the line for them to finally press a charge. Officers, teachers, and preachers should hold a higher moral code because they serve as a role model (like it or not) to others. This man works around the school district as well. Is the message the police department wants to send?
Posted by: citizen Location: texas on Sep 3, 2008 at 07:58 PM
Why was she having to call 911 in the first place is the big concern. Yes, its probably his own phone and he can break if he wants, but WHY did the spouse feel the need to call 911 in the first place. Why didn't he want her to make the call?
Posted by: loyal to law Location: grayson on Sep 3, 2008 at 07:48 PM
(you people)im gonna guess your uhmm about 14 yrs old, what he did was a serious mistake on his part, if he has a problem at his home the right thing to do is leave. he choose not to it seems more than once, and about the f.d. im thinking you are speaking of the drug addicted fireman? would who want him responsible for getting your child out of a burning home or working next to him.and to answer your last comment ,we have a hobby its called blogging, so if you dont like it that other people have opinions just read the news article and stay out of the blogs and we thank you for your support, goood Daaay

he is a known wife beater its about time he got caught i hope he faces some tough consequences.
Posted by: Judge on Sep 3, 2008 at 07:26 PM
Hey "you people", you are the one that needs a hobby, preferably reading. You say no charges were filed yet I clipped this from the story "Freddie Guedea turned himself into police Tuesday charged with interfering with an emergency call". And it was not the first time the police have responded to such incident at his home.
Posted by: Anonymous on Sep 3, 2008 at 07:18 PM
Did you actually read the story "you people"? He has been charged with "interfering with an emergency call". He broke the phone while his wife was on the line with the police; that is a crime.
Posted by: Anonymous Location: sherman on Sep 3, 2008 at 07:17 PM
I am sorry I know he must be friends with a bunch of you but hes a cop there that last people that should break the law. They need to do more about this and not let him get away with it. Let one get away with it and it will be a nut house. The sad thing is I bet he's running the streets right now. Free as a bird. anyone else and we would of been in jail without question.

Posted by: No Domestic Charges on Sep 3, 2008 at 07:14 PM
I bet they haven't and will never bring domestic abuse charges against him. Because, in Texas, he wouldn't be allowed to carry a firearm if convicted of domestic abuse. The article says this isn't the first domestic call from this couple.

No he didn't just break a phone he interfered with an emergency call and thats illegal to do so look it up:)
Posted by: Anonymous Location: Sherman on Sep 3, 2008 at 06:28 PM
Well, at least now I know why when my neighbor screamed he was going to kill me as he tried to break into my house that the cop who arrived did nothing and told me I just needed to do more to get along and stay out of his way (I was asleep at the time he started screaming and banging on my doors and windows) I know why. I guess that is perfectly acceptable behavior.
Posted by: haha on Sep 3, 2008 at 06:23 PM
thats what he gets i knew him when i went to school and he was a mean person and always tried to flirt with students it was gross maybe its a good thing he was caught!
Posted by: you people on Sep 3, 2008 at 06:20 PM
Give me a break people! You internet Rambos kill me. No one was injured. No charges were filed. So essentially he broke a phone that he is paying for anyhow. Lets blow this completly out of proportion like everyone did some of the F.D. stuff. You people need a hobby.
Posted by: Anonymous on Sep 3, 2008 at 06:06 PM
REMEMBER THERE IS ALWAYS TWO SIDES TO EVERY STORY. THOSE OF US WHO KNOW FREDIE AND HIS WIFE KNOW BOTH SIDES. THINGS MAY NOT BE AS THEY SEEM. SHE HAS HAD ISSUES WHERE SHE WAS THE VIOLANT ONE. PUBLIC RECORDS WILL SHOW THAT SHE HAS ASSAULTED HIM IN THE PAST. BOTH HAVE TO FACE THE FALL OUT OF THEIR CONDUCT
Posted by: Mom Location: Ok on Sep 3, 2008 at 06:06 PM
One reason I wouldn't be married to a cop, they have a reputation for domestic violence. I guess the stress, low pay, and violence get to them after a while.
Posted by: Anonymous on Sep 3, 2008 at 05:44 PM
Not a very good career move. Last thing any police department needs is a cop breaking the laws he or she is supposed to enforce. I'm sure there will be those telling us to wait for the facts to come out, he's not such a bad guy, etc. etc. etc., but it looks bad for him.
Posted by: stephfon Location: sherman on Sep 3, 2008 at 05:43 PM
i know this guy he does his job well he's a good guy its just that he made a mistake and he has to face the Consequences, but he's an old skool cop very fair unlike these new rookie cops
