Williamson County detective fired over Facebook post with racial slang, sheriff says
ROUND ROCK — Williamson County Sheriff Robert Chody said he fired a detective this month because a post on her Facebook account used racial slang that violated the sheriff’s office’s new social media policy.
“Detective (Heather) Vargas posted and/or failed to remove a post that violated that policy,” Chody said in an email Tuesday. “Due to the derogatory use of the ‘N’ word of the post by Detective Vargas and a complaint by an employee, Detective Vargas was terminated.”
Vargas’ lawyer said Thursday the meme Vargas shared on her account on Aug. 21 was composed by Vargas’ ex-boyfriend, who used racial slang to tease her about dating him, a younger man.
The post “was intended as a joke about Heather dating younger men, which she explained numerous times to her command staff,” said Lytza Rojas, Vargas’ attorney.
