D.A. PROBES POTENTIAL COVER-UP IN SHERIFF CRASH CASE; ABUSE OF OFFICIAL CAPACITY, ENGAGING IN CRIMINAL ACTIVITY AND TAMPERING WITH EVIDENCE CONTEMPLATED?

 By Juan Montoya

Law enforcement sources close to the investigation have confirmed that the Cameron County District Attorney's Office is probing the alleged cover-up of a crash involving the county-owned 2020 Dodge Ram truck provided to Cameron County Sheriff Eric Garza.

Efforts to confirm the information from the DA's Office were unsuccessful.

Some of Garza's neighbors told investigators that the crash-damaged truck was removed by a tow truck. 

The tow truck was said to have been driven by a former Sheriff Dept. deputy and the nephew of a businessman who owns a parts store on International Boulevard where the replacement parts were said to have been bought instead of being procured by the department through the county's procurement process to conceal the crash.

The most we have been able to piece together is that sometime in late July or early September, the damaged truck was taken to Santa Maria where deputy Ramblado Rivera – a Garza political supporter – lives. 

Rivera was hired as a jailer by Garza after he won the election, but in reality is a mechanic in charge of the sheriff's vehicle fleet, sources said.

(That's Rivera and Garza in the heat of the campaign in the photo at right.)

The county requires that when there is an accident involving a county vehicle or a piece of heavy equipment it has to be reported and the driver or operator submit to a drug or substance exam. Apparently, no one reported the accident where the truck was damaged and the driver of the vehicle is unknown, therefore the record doesn't show if a substance abuse exam was performed.

El Rrun-Rrun's sources say that on September 30, Rivera and Deputy Eddie Guerra drove back the truck to the department at Carrizales-Rucker Detention Center and Guerra was said to have used his gas card PIN number to fuel it up. 

Sources said that during the time when the truck was towed and a month later when it was brought back, there was no record of it being fueled in department records. One other instance where the record shows fuel a PIN was used to fuel the truck during that time was by Deputy Silverio Cisneros.

Sheriff personnel wondered why Sheriff Garza was driving his dark blue Santa Fe truck for the better part of a month instead of the county-provided Dodge Ram truck.

Both Guerra and Rivera are said to have been interviewed by DA investigators, sources said.

Other social media have reported – unconfirmed – that the DA's Office is contemplating at least three charges in the case including Abuse of Official Capacity, Engaging in Criminal Activity and Tampering With Evidence.

Bill O’Reilly has revealed that he had to console Donald Trump after he was booed by his own supporters for getting a vaccine booster shot. Trump told MAGA fans that he’d had his COVID-19 booster during Sunday’s final stop on the “History Tour” he co-headlined with the disgraced ex-Fox News star. The revelation prompted a chorus of boos and jeers from anti-vaxxers in the crowd. In an interview with Dan Abrams on NewsNation, O’Reilly said Trump phoned him after the event and was apparently hurt by the reaction.

GPS TRACKING. The truck should have it. Check the cameras when it last left the station. I am sure dispatch should also have GPS TRACKING ON ALL VEHICLE S. And I am sure he turned on the lights when he wrecked, and activated the camera on dashboard. And called his attorney jonythen haha. He said get it fixed under the table. Dumbass, didn't use original parts. Govt rule, it has to be original. And a cheap paint job. With different tires. BARNEY FIFE AND DEPUTY DAWG CAN DO A BETTER COVER-UP. THEN, WANT TO BE SHERIFF GARZA. USELESS JUST LIKE JONYTHEN GRACIAS. Technology will solve this accident.

Wow!!!! Barron, you turned out to be a disgrace., A sell out! Just to get on top. You never had the balls to stand up to anyone from the previous admin and now these guys. Eddie Guerra, bro you fucked yourself and your future in law enforcement. Just for a short time of glamour. Everyone caught onto you and your greedy ways. You used to be cool but now look at the attention you guys have brought to yourselves. All for trying to "fit in" or be excepted. The Cameron County clica's like always. "If you don't roll with me, your fucked." So many deputies gone cuz of this administration. As Conrado Cantu used to say "ANIMO!" ... jajajaja. No valen verga putos.

How many times did Gus Reyna crash county vehicles? Luis Saenz never took it upon himself to investigate because he's related to Linda Salazar and Linda is related to his wife. Pure fucken politics.

The sheriff's office is the laughing stock of the valley. Starting with Eric Garza you grow facial hair like a 12 year old boy shave that shit pendejo. Second you have the worst taste in cowboy hats. Don't you look at yourself in the mirror before you leave your house? You look like complete jackass and you're fat af lose some weight you fat fuck. Now getting to Gracia you still haven't been arrested after looking at confidential paperwork while you were still just a civilian? Anyone know what Abraham Rodriguez's stupid ass has been up to? I haven't heard anything since he assaulted one of his Sargents for talking back to him.

Well at least I can say that the jail side of things is finally looking good. We finally have a true leader and some of the personnel changes he made have been what we have been lacking for so long. All for the exception of Lazo, the last administration before did a mistake promoting that lazy good for nothing slob. You can try to mold this POS as much as you can but at the end shit will always be shit. Hey Commander, don’t trust that fat rat because he was all over the cocks of Elizarde and Sanchez and now is jumping to the new big fish, this guy will turn his back on anybody as we’ve all seen. He is the only supervisor that we feel is still dragging down the progression and it would be better if he just quit or got fired. But take it from someone who has been around for different administrations, things are finally starting to look like they did in the old days with the brotherhood. To all my brothers and sisters in gray, keep hanging in there I’m positive things will keep getting better.

Hey Sgt.Edgar Rivera are you still mad that a jailer took your side chick clerk and they sent her to work the jail? You filed the grievance against Capt.Jamon Rdz because you got butt hurt that they moved your little side gf and Lt.Diaz was gonna take her phone.

Well, it didn't take long for this inexperienced elected official to abuse his position when it came to crashing a taxpayer paid vehicle and then totally disregard the law and rules and regulations that HE would expect his subordinates to follow especially when you have that bully, Gracia to enforce them. Let's not forget that an alcohol or drug test goes with that rule about vehicle crashes? Thank you to the neighbors who fingered Garza in his attempt to hide his transgressions. But since we're use to the democrats hiding their law breaking activities, this is an accepted practice.
Why isn't the CCDA investigating the possibility of illegal activity and abuse of official capacity in the commissary contract? When were the bids put out or even made? The commissary is located within a taxpayer financed building? Does Gracia' comadre, Jonathan' mother in law pay rent for that space? How is Jonathan' wife designated on this company that her mother owns? Which would make it a conflict? Why isn't Robert Gracia suspended or being prosecuted for Impersonating an Officer, if he doesn't have a TX Peace Officer' License?

They should investigate Deputy Ayala, And his Jailer Brother. On their weekly trips to Matamoros. Sounds fishy to me.
