Father Eusebio Martinez has been arrested in Texas for vandalizing the property of a local resident family, the Villanuevas.

Father Martinez is Pastor of the Holy Family Catholic Church in the border town of Edinburg, Texas which has a predominantly Latino population. He was allegedly caught on camera drilling holes in the tires of the family’s car according to Valley Central. It is not known if the priest was wearing his official garb when he was filmed.

Local police began investigating Father Martinez back in January when the family submitted video evidence of the vandalism. He was arrested this morning and is out of jail on a personal recognizance bond.
