Correctional Officer Alfonso Alanis Arrested for Embezzlement

A Fresno County correctional officer was arrested on embezzlement charges, it was announced on Wednesday.

Alfonso Alanis, 28, worked as a correctional officer for five years.

His duties include handling the release of inmates and their property from the jail.

He was arrrested after a two-week investigation that resulted in sheriff's detectives serving a search warrant at his Fresno home.

They were looking for stolen property reported missing by inmates who were being released from jail.

Authorities say Alanis was withholding cash and other property from the prisoners.
