Records: Sandra Trevino, 52, faces an impersonating a public servant charge, a third-degree felony

BALCONES HEIGHTS, Texas – A woman was arrested Tuesday after allegedly attempting to portray herself as an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent to avoid a traffic citation, according to Balcones Heights police.

Sandra Trevino, 52, faces an impersonating a public servant charge, which is considered a third-degree felony, authorities said.

Trevino is accused of identifying herself as a federal deportation officer during a traffic stop, police stated.

Officers said Trevino later identified herself as an ICE agent to court personnel and a police department supervisor while discussing the citation.

Police said the impersonation attempt was an ā€œeffort to circumvent the traffic violation.ā€

Trevino was arrested and booked into the Bexar County Adult Detention Center on Tuesday, jail records indicate.

She posted a $5,000 bond and was released early Wednesday morning, records show.
