Police Chief Lisa Davis (@APDChiefDavis) happened to be in the building and made the arrest herself.
Reporting says Davis detained Vasquez until other officers arrived; it does not say she personally completed the arrest herself.
Full reasoning
Multiple reports describing the incident say Chief Lisa Davis detained or helped detain Daniel Vasquez, but that responding Austin police officers then took him into custody.
- KXAN's later report on the case says Davis "also called 911 and helped detain the suspect."
- KLBJ's report says Davis "intervened and detained Vasquez until responding officers arrived" and that he "was then taken into custody by Austin police."
So the post overstates her role. The available reporting supports that Davis intervened and held/detained him until officers arrived, not that she alone "made the arrest herself."
