MEXICO CITY - A suspected collaborator for Sinaloa drug cartel leader Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman is behind bars.

Mexican authorities arrested Luis Rodriguez Olivera, also known as "El Guero," at Mexico City's airport yesterday.

Rodriguez is considered a top drug trafficker and led a group of criminals known as "The Gueritos."

Authorities say for nearly 10 years, he worked with Guzman to traffic and import cocaine into the U.S. The U.S. had offered a five million dollar reward for his capture.

This is the second major arrest linked to "El Chapo" in less than a week. The Mexican army arrested Felipe Cabrera Sarabia last Friday. He was "El Chapo's" personal bodyguard.
