McALLEN, Texas (AP) - A federal probation officer has been arrested on drug trafficking and bribery charges, accused of using government databases to run background checks on truck drivers for a drug-trafficking organization.
Authorities allege that Armando Mora, 36, of Edinburg warned drug traffickers not to hire three truck drivers this year because two were undercover agents and a third was an FBI informant.
Mora was scheduled to make his initial appearance in federal court Thursday. It was not immediately clear if he had hired an attorney.
