The Bexar County sheriff described the incident as distasteful. “That’s why we have a public integrity unit dedicated to (finding) corrupt officers.”
Mario Sepulveda has been charged with abuse of official capacity between $1,500-$20,000, a state jail felony, and possession of a prohibited controlled substance in a correctional facility, a third-degree felony.Sheriff’s officials on Monday arrested a former deputy, accused of sneaking in synthetic marijuana and methamphetamine to an inmate.
Sheriff Javier Salazar said Monday evening that investigators first became aware of the scheme June 21, when they received a tip that Sepulveda was smuggling in drugs to an inmate. After listening to phone conversations between the inmate and a woman with whom he was romantically involved, they were able to corroborate the tip. The woman would give the contraband to Sepulveda, Sheriff Salazar said, and the former deputy would get paid through Cash App.
Investigators in the public integrity and intelligence units eventually searched the inmate’s cell, Salazar said. They found synthetic marijuana stuffed inside the inmate’s mattress. The inmate faces additional drug charges.
