2007 WAS A BAD YEAR, for Juan Guerra. He was arrested twice and charged with 3 counts of theft, and obstruction of justice. Municipal Judge Hector "Tiger" Huerta let Guerra off the hook and dismissed the charges. Meanwhile Guerra remains in office and refuses to prosecute any cases filed by city police or the sheriff's dept., unless they fire the officers who arrested him. (Above) Guerra is seen removing what he claimed were personal items from his office last March when he was first arrested. Charges against Guerra are still pending in State District Court and a new prosecutor has been appointed.

CONVICTED FELON, Ofelia Ramirez-Hernandez, who runs Guerra's D. A. Office, was paid $67,000 last year and has been indicted on theft charges. DISBARRED ATTORNERY, Marte Guillen, who works for Guerra as an investigator, was indicted on theft charges. FOLLOWING GUERRA'S RELEASE FROM COUNTY JAIL he set up camp on the jail parking lot where he kept goats and other farm animals. He was allowed to remain there for a week. This publicity stunt drew negative attention to Willacy County for at least a month, making all the big city newspapers. JUDGE HECTOR "TIGER" HUERTA, dismissed the charges against Guerra on a technicality. AURELIO "KEETER" GUERRA, Pct. 4 County Commissioner was unhappy with his brother's first arrest. GUERRA APPARENTLY, found being arrested by city police humorous. Maybe he feels his second round of felony charges will also be dismissed. JUAN GUERRA, is pictured with his criminal attorney Gilberto Hinojosa in the city police station where the defendant was arraigned on three criminal charges. WHILE AT THE JAIL PARKING LOT GUERRA claimed to be doing the county & state's business from a card table using two folding chairs. Meanwhile he is paid $145,000 annually for a job that he is not doing. GUERRA ARGUES, with Texas Rangers at the courthouse parking lot demanding the release of his indicted office Mgr. SPECIAL PROSECUTOR GUSTAVO "GUS" GARZA was removed from the case on a technicality and is being replaced by Mervyn Mossbacker, a former federal prosecutor. EL GALLITO, a friend of Guerra's who was offered a job as an asst. district/county attorney, hung around town for several months demanding payment from the county for work he claimed to have performed. He left town after the county refused to pay his salary because his hiring was not approved by commissioners.
