In Laredo, Texas, a Customs and Border Patrol officer was arrested November 28 for taking bribes to ignore what he thought were cocaine shipments coming through the Port of Entry in Laredo. Officer Emanuel Celedon, 35, went down in a sting after twice accepting cash money to let what he believed were multi-kilogram shipments of cocaine pass through Customs without inspection. He is charged with two counts of bribery and witnesses and two counts of attempted importation of cocaine. He is looking at up to 15 years in federal prison.
