On Friday, June 28, 2024, at approximately 10:50 p.m., officers were dispatched to a south Brownwood address on a welfare check. A crisis hotline reported an adult male threatening to harm himself.

When the officers arrived, they located 19-year-old Zachery Olvera of Brownwood. Olvera was heavily intoxicated and admitted to having consumed a bottle of vodka. Center for Life Resources was contacted to assist but due to Olvera’s level of intoxication, he needed to be medically cleared at Hendrick Medical Center-Brownwood before they would see him.

Olvera was transported to the ER but, upon arrival, became argumentative and combative  He screamed, cursed, made racial slurs and on two occasions head-butted officers as they tried to keep him seated. Numerous curse-laced threats to harm officers were heard by everyone in the ER.

Given Olvera’s threatening behavior, profuse cursing in the public area and violent behavior toward officers, officers were forced to arrest him for:

• Disorderly Conduct – Profane Language
• Resisting Transport
• Assault on a Peace Officer, and
• Retaliation

He is being held on bonds totaling $53,000.
