A crime organization was able to enlist at least three Maricopa County sheriff's employees to help move heroin and undocumented immigrants from Mexico, authorities said Tuesday.
One of the employees, Deputy Alfredo Navarrette, a 10-year veteran of the department, used his position to gain tips and other information that he passed on to drug smugglers, Sheriff Joe Arpaio said. Another, a detention officer, is romantically linked with the leader of the operation and is eight months pregnant with his child, officials said.
Authorities said Navarrette, 37, was smuggling illegal border-crossers to California. Two suspected illegal immigrants were found at his Phoenix area home, investigators said.
