This week on Honor Among Thieves, host Nelson Rodriguez Jr. sits down with Stephanie Saldana, a former Texas police officer whose life took a dramatic turn from enforcing the law to standing accused by the very system she served.

Stephanie opens up about the series of events that led to her downfall — from a simple favor for a friend that spiraled into criminal charges, to being tangled in a federal case she never saw coming. What started as a harmless name lookup for someone she knew became the first domino in a chain of life-altering consequences that forced her out of law enforcement and into the fight of her life.

Things took an even darker twist when she met a man who unknowingly pulled her into a massive drug trafficking case. When the DEA and federal prosecutors came knocking, Stephanie refused to take easy plea deals and did the unthinkable: she represented herself in federal court and won.
