Opening statements are set to begin on Monday in the case of a police officer, accused of theft.
Paul Cervantes is being charged with Grand Auto Theft.
The charges come after an alleged drug dealers accused Cervantes and another officer, Hector Becerra, of stealing his SUV, and giving it to an informant.
Back in February, Becerra was cleared of all charged against him.
The informant, Jesus Valles, has reached a preliminary plea deal. He is expected to testify for the prosecution in exchange for having the charges against him dropped.
Authorities say Cervantes had a direct role in that vehicle theft. Cervantes' Attorney, Terry Bowman, says the people making the allegations are not credible.
