A former U.S. Border Patrol agent was arrested Friday and charged with accepting bribes from drug traffickers in Southern Arizona.
Federal prosecutors say Yamilkar Fierros of Tucson was taken into custody by FBI special agents .
A four-count indictment returned Wednesday by a federal grand jury alleges that Fierros accepted $1,000 for providing a drug trafficker with a law-enforcement-sensitive map of San Rafael Valley on Sept. 30. The map showed roads, trails, landmarks and terminology used by the Border Patrol to counter drug traffickers.
The indictment says Fierros accepted $3,000 on Oct. 2 for providing a drug trafficker with a list of 109 sensor locations in the Sonoita area.
