Fugitive Border Patrol agent arrested in Mexico

Posted by El Guapo on Aug 31, 2007 • (0)

A Border Patrol agent who was arrested last year on bribery charges and who fled to Mexico while out on bond has been arrested in Mexico, officials with the U.S. Marshals said. Arturo Arzate Jr., 47, is accused of waving drug loads through the checkpoint on Highway 62/180 east of El Paso, federal court documents state. He had been a Border Patrol agent for 20 years.

Officials said he was arrested by Mexican officials on Aug. 16 in Torreon in the state of Coahuila. He had been a fugitive since February, officials said. He will be extradited back to the United States.

Editors Note: I wonder how long it will be before the right wing “patriots” are demanding this guys release and demanding Suttons head on a platter?
