THE GREAT FAJITA CAPER: WAS $1 MILLION SCAM AT ADULT PROBATION COVERED UP BY PURCHASES OF FAJITAS?

Special to El Rrun-Rrun

We swear we're not making this up.
A heretofore reliable source has leaked some salacious morsels about an ongoing investigation by the Cameron County District Attorney's Office on the pilferage of around $1 million by someone at the Juvenile Probation Office who then covered it up with the purchase of – among other things – beef fajitas.

The criminal mind, is, in this county, if anything, maliciously creative.

We haven't learned all the details from the source at the leaky administrative office of the county at Harrison Street but, if we are to judge by the past, the details will filter through the doors in due time.

What we do know is that the DA's Office sent a letter to the county judge and commissioners touching on the subject. Was there anything to it? Or was this a fishing expedition on the DA's part to ferret out leaks? We are making an info request to the county's legal counsel for a copy of the letter.

Some observers find the sending of the letter of particular interest since the juvenile probation office is under the purview of the Board of Judges. Did DA Luis V. Saenz send them the same letter? If not, we wonder why. In the case of former Cameron County Judge Pete Sepulveda's investigation, no such letter was sent to the commissioners court. That makes the sending of the probation office curiouser and curiouser.

Is this bait by George Delaunay, of the DA's Public Integrity Unit, to see if the guilty flee when no one accuseth?

Why the juvenile probation office require the purchase of fajitas for its operation is beyond us. But stay tuned. The fajitas will be done in due time.
