Former Texas Border County HR Director Pleads Guilty to Bribery Scheme

The development took place this week when 40-year-old Arnoldo Romeo Flores went before a U.S. judge and pleaded guilty to one of several bribery counts. Flores is allowed to remain on bond pending his sentencing hearing.

According to the U.S. Attorneys Office, Flores was the Cameron County Director for Human Resources between 2014-2015. He allegedly collected a series of bribes to help secure two contracts. Court documents filed in the case say the FBI had a cooperating source who helped negotiate the bribes where Flores would explain how to submit an ultimately successful proposal. Prosecutors say the alleged bribes ranged between $1,500 and $3,000.

Cameron County has a history of corruption.
