## Resource

A former El Paso police officer, 30-year-old Joshua Anthony Gallardo, just pleaded guilty to two felonies: assault that impeded breathing and continuous violence against family members — all within a year. Fired in March 2025 after multiple prior filings, he’s now facing 30 days in jail, 10 years probation, 500 hours of community service, and a $1,000 fine. He must surrender his peace officer license, complete a batterer’s program, and never contact victims again. DA’s office emphasized accountability — no one is above the law, especially when it comes to domestic violence. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
