1 Kirby firefighter charged, another injured after being clocked in the face over politics, affidavit states
An argument between two Kirby firefighters over voting quickly escalated and ended with one of them being clocked in the face and taken to an emergency room, according to a report from the Kirby Police Department. Joshua Gonzales, 29, has been charged over the incident with assault causing bodily injury, a Class A misdemeanor, according to booking records. The affidavit states the victim claimed he told Gonzales he was being a dumb a** for not voting, which lead to Gonzales punching him in the face.
