Dallas Police Corporal Arrested on Evading Charge Tied to Prostitution Stop

Investigators say a trail of video, fleet data, phone records linked a city-assigned car to the chase.

Overview

  • Senior Cpl. Joshua Gonzalez surrendered Tuesday to the Dallas County Jail on a charge of evading arrest or detention in a vehicle.
  • The department placed him on administrative leave pending an internal investigation, and records list his service since 2010 in the Criminal Intelligence Division.
  • The case centers on October 8, 2025, when patrol officers approaching a sedan with two women who appeared to be prostitutes saw the driver speed off near Harry Hines Boulevard.
  • Officers pursued for about 15 minutes with lights and sirens before disengaging, and a license plate check tied the car to a city-owned vehicle assigned to the intelligence unit.
  • An affidavit cites surveillance footage at city gas pumps, fleet logs, cellphone data, and witness accounts to identify Gonzalez as the driver, and notes he later pulled over for a separate stop and identified himself.
