Deputy arrested for falsifying documents

BROWARD, Fla. (WSVN) -- A Broward Sheriff's Office deputy has been arrested for the second time.

Alfredo Mesa was taken into custody Friday morning.

Mesa is accused of falsifying a government document to avoid paying nearly $500 in Sunpass violations.

He is being charged with falsifying public records and petty theft.

This arrest comes just six years after Mesa was arrested for stomping on a man's face during a dispute in Deerfield Beach.
