New Details: Two El Paso Police officers arrested
Update (December 16, 2025): Court documents state that Officer Joshua Arroyos was arrested after an incident on November 27, 2025.
The victim alleges that Arroyos threw a metal barstool, striking the victim's head. The victim had to get two staples for a wound to the back of the head.
Arroyos is charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
Court documents for Officer Robert Seelig's arrest reveal that police pulled Seelig over as he was driving in Westway on November 30, 2025. The officer said that Seelig had blown through a stop sign, causing him to stop Seelig's truck.
The officer reported smelling alcohol coming from Seelig. Seelig told the arresting officer that he had had two beers, but his girlfriend, who was also in the truck, later told the officer she and Seelig had both drunk two beers and two shots.
Seelig is now facing one count of driving while intoxicated and one count of unlawful carrying of a weapon. Court documents state that Seelig was wearing his service weapon at the time of the arrest.
Update (7:45 PM): The El Paso County Sheriff's Office released the mugshot of Robert Seelig.
EPCSO adds that they are withholding the mugshot of Arroyos due to his assignment in a specialized unit; releasing his photo could potentially compromise current investigations, according to EPCSO.
