McALLEN, Texas (ValleyCentral) — A judge placed two U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers on probation Tuesday after they confessed to cheating on a physical fitness test.

Officer Cristiani Briana White, 27, of Mission wanted to join Homeland Security Investigations, but she injured her knee and couldn’t pass the physical fitness test. Determined to get her “dream job” anyway, White decided to cheat.

“I take full responsibility for my actions,” White said on Tuesday afternoon, when she appeared before a judge at the federal courthouse in McAllen. “And I deeply apologize.”

White asked Officer Cynteria Janise LeBlanc, 26, of Mission to take the physical fitness test for her.

“I deeply regret my actions and I do apologize,” LeBlanc said, adding that she was “super embarrassed.”
