BORDER GUARD TIED TO POT PLOT
GRAND FORKS, N.D. -- A Canada Border Services Agency officer and
another Canadian have been charged with conspiracy after the officer
was arrested while allegedly attempting to smuggle more than 22 kgs of
marijuana into the U.S., authorities said.
"For law enforcement officers on both sides of the border, it's a sad
day when someone in a position of authority violates the public's
trust," said Michael Mach, agent-in-charge of the U.S. Immigration and
Customs Enforcement office in Grand Forks. Gary Graboski, 35, who
worked as a border inspector for the Canadian agency, was arrested May
13. The investigation led to the arrest of Loran Stewart, 37, also a
Canadian.
