An immigration inspector was arrested on suspicion of conspiring to smuggle 1,033 pounds of cocaine into the United States, authorities said Friday.
Clark Anthony Miller, 42, was arrested by Customs Service agents at his home in Calexico, where he worked as an inspector at the U.S.-Mexico border crossing.
Miller pleaded innocent at his arraignment Thursday.
Authorities allege that he conspired to smuggle cocaine by waving a 1996 Buick Regal carrying the drugs through his inspection lane in May 2000.
