Border Patrol agent accused of drug smuggling

Posted May 17th, 2008 by lastmovement

McALLEN - A U.S. Border Patrol agent accused of smuggling cocaine through airport security checkpoints made his first appearance in U.S. District Court on Friday.

Prosecutors allege Agent Ramiro Flores Jr., 36, of McAllen, used his federal credentials and badge to bypass U.S. Transportation Security Administration screeners at McAllen-Miller International Airport with about 13.2 pounds of the drug hidden in a piece of luggage.

Once inside the secure area of the airport, he is accused of swapping the bag with an awaiting accomplice, before both men boarded a flight to Houston’s Bush Intercontinental Airport.

Houston police arrested both men Thursday as they exited the plane.

In the family we have a state trooper who was down there this week. He should find this interesting.
