Former DPS trooper indicted for tampering with records

Victoria, Texas -- A former Department of Public Safety trooper is accused of using a government database to create a fictitious traffic citation.

Authorities also think he forged the signature of a Crossroads resident on the ticket on Feb. 17, according to an indictment released by the Victoria County District Attorney's Office.

Ronald Nathanial Johnson faces one count of misuse of official information, two counts of tampering with government records and one count of fraudulently using identifying information.

He was indicted Thursday.
