California Highway Patrol officer was charged Tuesday with perjury, conspiracy to obstruct justice and accepting a bribe for allegedly fixing a ticket

San Diego DUI attorneys report a former California Highway Patrol officer was charged Tuesday with perjury, conspiracy to obstruct justice and accepting a bribe for allegedly fixing a speeding ticket in exchange for sexual favors.

Abram Anthony Carabajal was scheduled to be arraigned on the felony counts this afternoon at the Vista Courthouse.

Carabajal, 51, pulled over Shirin Zarrindej for speeding on March 12 of last year and, at some point, developed a relationship with her, the San Diego County District Attorney's Office alleges.

The Oceanside resident testified under oath last July that he was not served with a subpoena, so the speeding case against Zarrindej, 47, was dismissed, according to Paul Levikow of the D.A.'s office.

Levikow said Carabajal and Zarrindej were seen walking arm-in-arm to a room at the Guesthouse Inn in Oceanside right after the court appearance. The woman later conceded the two had sex, he said.

Zarrindej faces the same charges and is scheduled to make her initial court appearance on April 13.

Carabajal resigned from the CHP during the investigation, San Diego DUI lawyers are told.
