Mexican Mafia Secretary Busted

(Salina, Kansas)

Authorities have arrested a purported "secretary" for the Mexican Mafia who allegedly helped funnel information through Los Angeles County jails -- from her home in Kansas.

Cecilia Virgen-DeLeon, 31, was taken into custody about 11:15 a.m. Wednesday in Salina, a town of about 50,000 in the heart of the state, L.A. County Sheriff's Deputy Francis Hardiman said in a phone interview outside of nearby Abilene.

The so-called secretaries of organized crime groups often use fraudulent cellphone accounts to help push information -- about drug movements, hits and other matters -- to shot-callers inside the jails, Hardiman said.

Since she is reportedly a Mexican Mafia functionary, one must wonder if Ms. Virgen-DeLeon is legally in the U.S.

As an aside, how about those eyebrows? Quite the fashion statement, eh?
