Former Hidalgo County Sheriff Treviņo: 'I plead guilty, your honor'
McALLEN — Five words sealed the fate of the man who used to be the highest law enforcement official in Hidalgo County.
“I plead guilty, your honor,” former Sheriff Lupe Treviño said Monday morning when asked for his plea on the charge of money laundering.
Wearing a black suit with a white shirt and red tie, Treviño spoke loudly and clearly when responding to the questions made by U.S. District Court Judge Micaela Alvarez.
With a hand in his pocket and a slight tilt to his head, Treviño agreed to the facts of the case that were read by Assistant U.S. Attorney James Sturgis, who said that from June 1, 2011, to December 2012, Treviño conspired to conduct financial transactions involving the proceeds of illegal activity.
