Hidalgo JP indicted for truancy arrests

Hidalgo County Justice of the Peace Mary Alice Palacios’ legal problems mounted Wednesday, a day after she became the focus of a federal civil rights lawsuit.

An Hidalgo County grand jury returned a criminal indictment against the embattled judge charging her with official oppression in her work with truant students, District Attorney Rene Guerra said.

In March, a Monitor investigation revealed that Palacios had sent dozens of teens to jail for terms as long as four months on legally questionable grounds.
