An anonymous tip submitted to Big Bend Times this week has raised new concerns about the social media activity of Jeff Davis County Sheriff’s Deputy Adriana Ruiloba.
The tip, sent August 3 by an individual identifying themselves as a “Concerned Citizen,” included screenshots from what they claimed was Ruiloba’s TikTok account (@aaadriana_3). The sender described the account’s content as “disturbing given her role as a law enforcement officer,” alleging that it included reposts reflecting “violent or retaliatory attitudes, mock[ing] infidelity, and show[ing] disdain toward accountability.”
Big Bend Times has reviewed the account in question and confirmed it appears to belong to Deputy Ruiloba. The account includes videos in which Ruiloba appears in uniform, including footage seemingly from her time as a Presidio Police Department officer before joining Jeff Davis County. Other videos show her on local roads and in what appear to be West Texas locations.
Some of the reposted videos on the account contain themes that could be interpreted as endorsing aggressive conduct or mocking those who question authority. While Ruiloba may not have created the original videos, the anonymous tipster argued that reposting them “reflects personal alignment with the messages being amplified.”
The Jeff Davis County Sheriff’s Office did not respond to a request for comment.
Deputy Ruiloba has previously drawn public attention following her role in the June 27, 2025, incident in which Big Bend Times publisher David Flash was forcibly removed from a Commissioners Court meeting — an incident documented on video and now listed in the U.S. Press Freedom Tracker as a press freedom violation.
This latest development adds to a growing list of concerns voiced by community members about law enforcement accountability in Jeff Davis County.
