TX-Fake-drug figure going back to prison
Fake-drug figure
going back to prison
07:12 AM CST on Tuesday, December 1, 2009
One of the crooked informants in the Dallas police fake-drug scandal was sentenced to eight years in federal prison Monday on new charges that he was peddling phony money.
U.S. District Judge Sam Lindsay also ordered that Enrique Martinez Alonso, 52, again be deported after he serves his sentence.
He was first deported in 2007 after spending about five years behind bars for his role in the 2001 fake-drug scandal. He was among a group of Dallas police informants who bought pool chalk in bulk, packaged it to look like cocaine and planted it on Hispanic immigrants who were then arrested by narcotics officers.
The scandal led to firings, demotions and jail time for one of the detectives involved. The city paid millions in settlements to wrongly accused Hispanic immigrants.
Alonso illegally returned to the U.S. at some point and, last year, sold $9,970 in counterfeit cash to an undercover investigator. In August, he pleaded guilty to counterfeiting and illegal re-entry into the country.
