No one knows who did it, how much was stolen, or how long it has been going on, but a vague press release by Cameron County District Clerk Eric Garza confirms that someone has been stealing money from an account in that department.
Sources not with the Cameron County Auditor's Office or the District Attorney's Office say that the lid has been shut tight n details in the case, but that auditor Martha Galarza has filed a complaint with DA Luis V. Saenz's alleging 'discrepancies" in one account.
They say that the account belongs to a credit card issued to that department, perhaps the district clerk himself, and that someone used it to charge up unauthorized purchases around the county. When contacted, Garza told media reps that the case was in the hands of the D.A. and that he had nothing further to say on the matter.
It is unknown why Garza did not refer the matter to the Cameron County Sheriff's Dept.
Garza told a reporter that he was on his way out of town and would not comment any further.
