The constable was working an off-duty assignment at the Cielo Vista Walmart when Walmart Asset Protection associates flagged them down regarding a theft.<\/p>\n

While detained, Mendoza identified himself to the constable by word of mouth and provided a false\/fictitious name, the constable’s office said.<\/p>\n

An investigation revealed that Mendoza had lied about his last name while lawfully detained, and a warrant was issued.<\/p>\n

The Precinct Six Constable presented a complaint affidavit to the Jail Magistrate’s office, which issued an arrest warrant for Mendoza.<\/p>\n

Mendoza was placed under arrest by Precinct Six Deputy Constables and booked into the El Paso County Detention Facility for failure to identify giving false\/fictitious info.<\/p>\n

Walmart did not wish to prosecute for the original theft charge.<\/p>\n
