Former border agent pleads guilty to allowing entry of undocumented migrants and accepting bribes. Celedon, 36, accepted a $6,000 bribe from alleged cocaine traffickers who were actually undercover police officers.
He let people through the lane he controlled without inspection at least nine times between September and November, and informed smugglers in advance which lane he was assigned, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Texas said. He pleaded guilty Monday to four counts in a court case of bringing an undocumented alien into the United States.
