Two sheriff’s deputies in Colorado who gambled big by calling out sick for a weekend trip to Las Vegas are getting disciplined for their bad bets.

Diego Villalpando-Hernandez and Daniel Trujillo of the Denver Sheriff Department called out sick on a Saturday in June 2017, but department officials learned from an anonymous tipster that the deputies were actually living it up during a Sin City weekend getaway more than 700 miles away, KMGH reports.

“Social media sometimes works in mysterious ways,” said Alfredo Hernandez of Denver’s Department of Public Safety, which oversees discipline doled out to city employees. “It’s more than just people calling in sick.”

Hernandez said investigators were tipped off to photos of the men with a large group of partiers.

“The question that it posed in the email was, ‘Abuse of sick time?’” Hernandez told the station.

The unplanned absences led to problems with the department’s Saturday Work Program, which allows some defendants to perform community service rather than doing jail time. City records show that the program had to be canceled on June 18, 2017, when Villalpando-Hernandez called out less than five hours before his scheduled 5 a.m. start time.

“Approximately 12 offenders reported for the Saturday Work Program and were sent home at 0930 hours due to not having anyone to supervise them,” a city report on the incident read. “It is unknown whether the 12 offenders were given credit for showing up on June 17.”

Another employee with the program had to use vacation time in order to be paid for that Saturday, according to the station.

Villalpando-Hernandez initially told investigators that he called out that day because he was “sick, as you can tell by my voice,” city records show. He later admitted to planning the Vegas getaway weeks in advance, acknowledging that the decision to do so was a “selfish” act.

“These deputies had an opportunity three weeks prior or two weeks prior to this planned vacation to make arrangements and they chose not to,” Hernandez told KMGH. “Under those circumstances, I think people need to be held accountable.”

Trujillo, meanwhile, confessed to simply needing some downtime when interviewed by investigators.

“I was dealing with quite a bit for quite a while,” he said. “And this whole trip was just to decompress. I wasn’t even planning on going. My ticket was — and my hotel room was purchased for me. I shared the room with a couple other deputies. And we’re all really close friends. We just — I needed that camaraderie.”

Neither deputy will lose his job, but Villalpando-Hernandez was suspended for six days and was docked 10 percent of his pay for 10 consecutive pay periods for feigning illness and conduct prejudicial. Trujillo, meanwhile, will be fined 10 percent of his compensation for 10 straight pay periods by the Denver Department of Public Safety.
