Jury finds Michelle Barrientes Vela guilty on 2 counts of tampering with records
Former Precinct 2 constable could face a maximum punishment of up to 10 years in prison
SAN ANTONIO – A Bexar County jury on Thursday found former Precinct 2 Constable Michelle Barrientes Vela guilty on two felony counts of tampering with records.
The jury deliberated for four hours before reaching its decision in the nearly two-week long public corruption trial.
Barrientes Vela is eligible for probation. She could face a maximum punishment of up to 10 years in prison. Barrientes Vela requested for Judge Velia Meza to decide her sentence. The court will reconvene on Sept. 12 to begin the sentencing phase. Until then, Barrientes Vela will be allowed to remain free.
Bexar County District Attorney Joe Gonzales thanked the jury for their service and for staying “focused on this complex case.”

Vela is accused of numerous abuses. In this case, she kicked out a family from a county park so that her family could have the pavilion....
She also did some weird shakedown at an auto accident even though she did not have jurisdiction because she was the constable, not law enforcement.. She wanted to do a cavity search on someone. I believe it happened in Leon Valley or San Antonio and the only authority she would have would have been a first responder until the correct unit arrived on scene to make sure everyone was safe or whatever....
https://www.ksat.com/news/2019/04/04/records-pct-2-deputies-proposed-cavity-search-on-teen-ordered-warrantless-blood-draw/LEON VALLEY, Texas – A 19-year-old San Antonio woman involved in a car crash earlier this year had her blood drawn without the arresting law enforcement agency first obtaining a search warrant and was nearly subjected to a cavity search, a sworn affidavit and EMS records obtained by the KSAT 12 Defenders show.
The driver, identified as Madison Huizar, was taken into custody Feb. 13 by Bexar County Precinct 2 deputies following her involvement in a two-vehicle crash in the intersection of Bandera Road and Timco West, inside Leon Valley city limits.
"You want to get original? I am the constable."

Good riddance. She's another Trump. She won't be bothering candidates and volunteers in November. She's a Democratic who has a vendetta against the Democratic Sheriff and DA. She demands complete loyalty and wanted BLM to back her. She was banned from political events due to what she did up in Dallas. Now she will be banned as part of her punishment. She was convicted of felonies, but will probably get probation. She's a psychopath who cares only about herself.
