Fresno police officer Paul Cervantes took the stand is his trial on auto theft charges. Cervantes is accused of stealing an SUV from a drug suspect and giving it to an informant who helped set up the drug sting.
Before taking the stand, several character witnesses took the stand to defend Cervantes, including a fellow undercover officer who had originally been charged with Cervantes, but had the charges dropped.
At the center of the trial is the question of whether the informant had paid for the SUV or if Cervantes told the informant to take the car knowing that the suspect had not been paid for it.
