She Called Police for Help. One of the Responding Officers Came Back 83 Times.

Aqua Richjo | September 25, 2026

A woman called police during a domestic disturbance in April 2024. Former Lewisville officer Filemon Perez met her while responding to that call. On September 24, a Denton County jury convicted Perez of stalking her.

According to KERA’s report on the trial, evidence showed Perez visited the woman’s apartment complex 83 times over roughly six months while on duty. GPS records reportedly showed that almost all of those visits had no legitimate work purpose. She had reached out to police for help. The officer who met her through that call kept returning.

That is the part Lewisville residents deserve to sit with: What protection does a person have when an officer uses access gained through a call for help to come back again and again?

What the jury decided—and what remains unanswered

The jury’s verdict is a stalking conviction. The 83 visits and GPS records were evidence presented at trial. As of this post, No Chill News has not confirmed a sentence; sentencing was expected on September 25.

The verdict also raises questions for the Lewisville Police Department. Who could see Perez’s patrol movements? Did a supervisor review the repeated visits? What rules limited contact with someone an officer met on a call? And when did the department first learn that women had complained about his conduct?

KERA reported that a supervisor had reprimanded Perez over inappropriate on-duty contact with several women before he resigned in December 2024. That makes the timeline of complaints, supervision and action especially important. The public needs records and direct answers from the department, not assumptions about what its systems should have caught.

A separate allegation is still separate

Perez has also been accused of sexually assaulting another woman while on duty. That allegation is not the stalking conviction. KERA reported that he had not been indicted in the sexual-assault case as of its September 21 trial report. His attorney has described that encounter as consensual. No Chill News is keeping the cases distinct and will not identify either woman or publish details that could expose them or a child.

The stalking verdict answers whether a jury found Perez guilty in this case. It does not answer how an officer could make so many on-duty visits before the conduct was stopped. That is the next accountability question for Lewisville police.

Reporting basis: KERA’s September 25 conviction report and September 21 trial background. No Chill News has not independently interviewed the women, Perez, his attorney, prosecutors or Lewisville police, or reviewed the trial exhibits.
