A sex-for-money Snapchat agreement nearly turned tragic when four men ambushed a victim with a knife, choked him and robbed him of his belongings in a Weslaco apartment last Thursday. The incident started on Snapchat, a social media platform, about a month prior to the attack, the male victim told Weslaco police officers, according to a probable cause affidavit. The victim met Stephanie Navarro, 24, on the social media application and decided to see her at her apartment on the evening of Dec. 22 because Navarro needed pampers and presents for her kids, the victim told officers. Navarro would later say it was to have sex in exchange for money. Upon reaching her apartment, the victim initially left after seeing a suspicious man and truck outside the apartment but then went inside around 9 p.m. Navarro led the man to her bedroom where he sat on her bed. Navarro told him she needed to check on her children and left the bedroom and coughed after she exited. After her cough, the victim noted, four men came out of a closet and attacked him. One of the men was later identified as Navarro’s 24-year-old boyfriend, Francisco Martinez Jr., two 16-year old

A former police officer who admitted to repeatedly stalking a woman and also striking a man in the face will not go to prison for the crimes if he abides by the terms of his probation, court records show. Walter Pacheco, 28, of Pleasant Hill, was convicted this week of felony willful injury and misdemeanor stalking, to which he pleaded guilty in July in Polk County District Court. A judge ordered a seven-year suspended prison sentence and five years of probation. Pacheco will be required to wear a device that tracks his location for the first three years of that probation. The judge also ordered Pacheco to undergo mental health and substance abuse evaluations and seek treatment if the evaluations recommend it. Pacheco had sought deferred judgments for the crimes, which would have allowed him to avoid being a felon and would have enabled him to expunge information about the court cases from the public record. Prosecutors indicated they might seek a prison sentence in light of subsequent allegations of continued harassment of the woman, but Pacheco’s attorney argued that they were bound to the plea agreement that did not include a prison sentence. Pacheco faces numerous criminal charges for
