McALLEN — An Edinburg area priest was arrested by McAllen Police for slashing the tires of a parishioner.

Eusebio Martinez was formally charged with one count of vandalism on Thursday morning when Municipal Judge Robert Salazar set his bond at $2,000 personal recognizance.

Police began investigating Martinez on January 13 after a victim got video of him damaging the tires, said police spokesman Lieutenant Joel Morales.
