CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — A former Corpus Christi Police Department officer accused of impersonating a Child Protective Services worker is now in the Nueces County Jail serving a one-week sentence for her crime.

It was back in November of 2018 when Deleon claimed to be a CPS caseworker to perform a welfare check on a child. She resigned from the CCPD in March of last year and was later arrested on charges of official oppression and impersonating a public servant.

According to First Assistant District Attorney Matt Manning, Deleon will spend seven days in jail and must work 100 hours of community service.
