Councilwoman appeals arrest

District 1 City Councilwoman Anisa Vasquez wants her record of being arrested after defying a El
Campo police officer’s order cleared, 15 months after her neighbors complained about blaring music at her
home. County Judge Phillip Spenrath will decide whether her no contest plea will stand or if the charge is
without merit during a hearing currently set for Monday, Oct. 17th. Violating the city ordinance against loud
music is a Class C misdemeanor and required Vasquez to pay a $155 fine. Vasquez was arrested June
13, 2021, by officers returning to her East Calhoun home after having issued a warning about loud music earlier that night from nearby residents.
