A Canada Border Services Agency officer and another Canadian citizen have been charged with conspiracy after the officer was arrested while allegedly attempting to smuggle more than 22 kilograms 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 just south of the Pinecreek, Minn., port of entry. Agents determined he intended to deliver the marijuana hidden in the bed of his pickup to another man. The investigation led to the arrest a short time later of Loran Stewart, 37, also a Canadian citizen, in Warroad, Minn. Graboski has been charged with conspiracy to commit a controlled substance crime, and Stewart was charged with second-degree conspiracy to commit a controlled substance crime
