Authorities identified a suspect in a Cameron County bribery case as a former vehicle maintenance supervisor for the U.S. Postal Service.
Jesse Duran was extradited from El Paso to the Cameron County Jail last week.
Court records show that Duran is facing bribery charges in a 2009 case from Cameron County and that he failed to appear for a hearing in Brownsville in January.
Officials with the Cameron County District Attorney's Office said Duran is accused of getting kickbacks to take Postal Service vehicles to a local mechanic.
U.S. Postal Service officials said Duran is classified as being on leave.
Duran first began working for the Postal Service in December 1989 but later became a vehicle maintence supervisor for the Corpus Christi region in August 2004.
Postal Service officials said Duran kept a residence in McAllen while he had the position but took a job as a custodian for the agency in El Paso in October 2008.
