Auditor's mistake as big as Texas

Alfonso Gutierrez Jimenez got to live an outlaw's nightmare when the Texas Rangers came calling.
I don't mean they forced him to go to a ballgame at The Ballpark in Arlington. That would be just cruel, forced to see the Rangers play Kansas City or Tampa Bay.
Alfonso's association with the Texas Rangers extends to the law enforcement ones, not the baseball players. They heard some discouraging words about Alfonso...
The case does not appear to be related to drugs, said Elliott.Poor Alfonso. He must have thought he was working in Chicago and lost his mind for a minute. If it was Los Angeles, he'd be either cheating on his wife or covering up for her driving escapades. Soliciting bribes is something they do in the Windy City or Florida.
Texas Rangers had received information that Jimenez solicited a $5,000 bribe, in exchange for reducing a business owner's tax liability during an audit, a statement from the Fort Bend County sheriff's office said.
