In Eagle Pass, Texas, Maverick County Probation Officer and general contractor Javier Gonzalez was arrested after a federal grand jury in Del Rio indicted him earlier today in connection with an alleged bribery, kickback and bid-rigging scheme announced United States Attorney Robert Pitman and FBI Special Agent in Charge Armando Fernandez. The federal grand jury indictment charges the 42-year-old Eagle Pass resident with one count each of paying a bribe to an agent of an organization receiving federal funds and wire fraud. According to the indictment, in May 2011, Gonzalez submitted a $35,100 bid to Maverick County to build a sidewalk on Lago Vista Street in Precinct 4. Subsequently, Maverick County issued two separate checks totaling $35,100 to Gonzalez—the first on May 24, 2011, for $13,050 to commence work on the project; the second on May 26, 2011, for $22,050 for the completion of the sidewalk.
