3 California Teens Charged With Posing as Cops

Friday, February 5th, 2010

Three Central California teenagers are under arrest for allegedly impersonating police officers and trying to pull over drivers near Manteca.

Police say the three were arrested after motorists reported a pink Buick Century with flashing red and blue lights attempting to pull them over Tuesday night. In one case, one of the fake officers took the driver’s license of a motorist back to his car, then returned it and allowed the motorist to leave.

Police later arrested 19-year-old John Meza, 18-year-old Alex Chavez and 18-year-old Gregori Martinez. They face charges of impersonating a police officer, false imprisonment and conspiracy.

Brownsville Texas Customs Officer Charged with Bribary

Thursday, October 1st, 2009

A U.S. Customs officer in Brownsville faces charges of bribery and letting an illegal immigrant into the country in exchange for $4,800.
Court documents show Javier Cavazos allegedly stamped immigration documents for a French citizen at his home the day before he let the man through his border post without running his name through government databases.
The 50-year-old veteran customs officer was arrested Tuesday by agents from the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Office of Professional Responsibility. Alleged accomplice, David de la Fuente, made an initial court appearance Wednesday on charges that he received $200 to help the Frenchman.
Customs and Border Protection spokesman Eduardo Perez said Cavazos was no longer with the agency, but could provide no other details.
