In North Carolina, it is reported that Cpl. A. E. Villalobos has little problems with tracking down people who fail to adhere to the law. This past weekend, Villalobos and 30 other officers participated in an annual program known as Operation Child Support. During the program, officers work tirelessly to track down fathers and mothers who are delinquent with their child support payments.
According to Villalobos, when parents are finally caught, they tell officers that "they have been paying their child support." They tend to deny that they are behind.
This year, police were able to put 25 people in jail who were late on their child support payments. Officers say that the arrests added up to $74,000 in bond payments over the weekend. Despite the many arrests that were made, Villalobos says that the department still has 400 outstanding child support warrants.
Sgt. Leonard Antonelli told news sources that delinquent child support is, "quite a large problem." Officers plan to continue their efforts to track down parents who are not paying their monthly support amounts.
