An officer with the San Marcos Police Department has resigned following his arrest over allegations of domestic violence and abuse.
On Thursday, October 6, 2022, Kyle Lobo voluntarily resigned as a police officer. Lobo’s peace officer license will reflect a dishonorable discharge as a result of his resignation in relation to allegations of criminal misconduct, the city said.
