…I just like saying “county-funded fajitas”:
Mr. Escamilla worked at the juvenile detention center in Cameron County, Texas. This is way down in the south part of the state (Brownsville is the county seat.)
Mr. Escamilla was allegedly ordering fajitas through the detention center, using county money, and then delivering them to his own customers.
The state claims this scam amounted to $1.2 million worth of fajitas over nine years. Mr. Escamilla was sentenced to 50 years in prison on Friday.
