I guess the medical plan for Federal agents doesn't cover viagra for a 64 year old man. I cannot believe someone would risk their career, pension, and possible jail time ( not to mention the well being and safety of this country) for a bottle of viagra, a few thousands dollars and a penis pump thrown in for good measure!

Just goes to show these agents have little fear of getting caught! There has simply been too many of these cases recently which seems to indicate something is very wrong here...

You're way ahead of me there NoBueno.........I was wondering why anyone in their right mind would risk the sheer embarassment of getting caught and having THAT printed in the newspaper

<giggles> I'm sure his family must be so very, very proud.......

A federal officer was arrested Friday and charged with trafficking in undocumented immigrants in exchange for a sexual device, Cialis pills - used to treat erectile dysfunction - and $2,150 in cash.

A federal grand jury indicted U.S. Department of Homeland Security Customs and Border Protection officer Guadalupe Garza, 64, on Sept. 2.

The indictment charges Garza with 13 counts of conspiracy to transport aliens, transporting them within the United States, bringing them into the country, and bribery.

Officials believe Garza was part of a conspiracy that moved the undocumented immigrants by vehicle or guided them on foot.

Court records show that another or other defendants might have been charged, but those documents remained sealed Friday.
