This Week's Corrupt Cops Stories

More jail and prison guards gone bad, plus a Border Patrol agent gets nailed in a tricky trafficking scheme. Let's get to it:

In Greenville, South Carolina, a Greenville County detention officer was arrested last Thursday for allegedly slinging meth. Now former officer Kendall Shon Marlin, 47, went down after he attempted to purchase 400 grams of meth from a State Law Enforcement Division undercover officer. He is charged with trafficking methamphetamine. His alleged dealing was not at the jail, the sheriff said in a news conference.

In Albuquerque, a state prison guard was arrested last Thursday after allegedly smuggling drugs into the state prison at Santa Fe. John Aragon, 60, went down after prison authorities heard claims he was involved in dope smuggling and set up a meeting with him to provide heroin and suboxone strips for prisoners and $1,500 for himself. He is charged with drug possession with intent to distribute.

In Brownsville, Texas, a former Border Patrol agents pleaded guilty last Friday to lying about drug seizure that had been diluted so traffickers could steal the original drugs. Eduardo Bazan, 49, conspired with traffickers to stage a seizure with the diluted drugs, then lie to his fellow officers about what had actually happened. He admitted receiving $8,000 for his efforts. He pleaded guilty to a single count of making a false statement regarding a narcotics seizure. He's looking at up to five years in the federal slammer.
