[November 19, 2008]  SAN BENITO, Texas (AP) -- A newly elected constable was questioned by sheriff's deputies after allowing a friend to fire his county-issued handgun into the air at a party.

The constable, elected earlier this month, was at a friend's house late Saturday when Cameron County Sheriff's deputies responded to a call of shots fired.

The constable and the homeowner appeared to be drunk and the friend admitted to firing the gun, according to the incident report. Neither man was charged.
