Martha Zamarripa and Elisa Gonzalez, the former secretaries of former Justice of the Peace Cesar Perez plead 'No contest' to at least one of the charges before them stemming from indictments handed down in December by the 365th Judicial Court.

The indictment charged the three former Maverick County employees with participating in organized criminal activity and theft by a public servant.

Perez on the other hand is still awaiting the result of negotiations between his attorneys and those of the state as to how he will proceed in this matter as he was suspended from his duties pending the result of this investigation.  

Dora Madera has since been in the seat of JP of Precinct 2 since January in an interim capacity.

Perez is to appear before The Honorable Amado Abascal, 365th District Judge on August 9th and his subsequent trial will be held August 12th.

Daryl Fields, Public Affairs Officer for The Western District of Texas, informed The News Gram of the sentencing hearing held on Tuesday for Elizabeth Vivian before The Honorable Alia Moses, US District Judge for The Western District of Texas.

Vivian was sentenced to 16 months imprisonment, three years of supervised release and was ordered to pay $3,000.00 fine.

Fields also stated that she was given a time to report as she was ordered to on October 1st to begin serving her sentence for her role in the gasoline fraud case involving five ex-city employees who, through the illegal use of Fuel Man cards, stole a total of $68,000.00 from the city over a period of several months.

She was not immediately taken into custody after sentencing, and in reference to restitution, she will need to wait for final judgement as this is presently just a notation and the final order has not been entered which may take two to three days after sentencing.
