HOUSTON -
A Harris County sheriff's deputy has been suspended after using her patrol car for a relative's driving lesson.
Last month, Local 2 received a tip that Deputy Yraci Huerta recorded the driving lesson and posted it on her Facebook page.
The grainy video appears to show someone behind the wheel of a marked Harris County Sheriff's Office patrol car.
The person shooting the video outside the car can be heard instructing the driver to "put your foot on the brake" and give it "a little bit of gas."
The car is seen slowly inching forward before the driver is instructed to "put it in park."
The post was later deleted from her Facebook page but Local 2 asked the Sheriff's Office about it.
Local 2 also went to Huerta's home for comment but she refused.
"You have to talk to my attorney through media relations," Huerta said through a crack in the front door.
An HCSO spokesperson responded Wednesday, saying Huerta had been suspended without pay for eight days.
