Another mass will be held on Friday, Oct. 21, at the Saints Peter and Paul Catholic Church in El Paso, where Arellano grew up, followed by the burial at Mount Carmel Cemetery.

On Monday, police officially booked Mayra Rebollar, 31, into the Dallas County jail on Monday via a remote hearing and charged her with intoxication manslaughter for the death of Officer Arrellano.

According to the arrest affidavit, Arellano then hit a semi-truck that was towing a trailer. That driver was not seriously injured.
