WAELDER — An area woman has been captured by the Waelder Police Department and is now facing charges of identity theft.
Waelder Police Chief Jim Taylor reported that his department arrested Marta Zuniga-Garcia, 26 of Waelder, Tuesday night for fraudulent use or possession of identifying information. The crime is a State Jail felony.
Zuniga-Garcia, who is alleged to have used another person’s identity for several months in order to gain employment at a local plant, was released from the Gonzales County Jail after posting a $1,000 cash bond.

Taylor reported another arrest in connection with a fight that took place last week at the Waelder City Park.
Myron Williams, 20 of Waelder, was arrested and charged with assault causing bodily injury. He is still in custody in lieu of a $2,000 bond.
The Waelder Police have also issued an arrest warrant for Francisco Alvarado of Waelder.
The warrant alleges Alvarado committed at least one act of indecency with a child through sexual contact. He was arrested a month ago for sexual assault of a child and is out after being released from jail on a $75,000 surety bond.
Taylor said the cases involve two different female victims.
