Mexican federal police officer indicted for drug trafficking

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) -- A Mexican federal police officer has been indicted on drug-trafficking charges here.

Ruben Rochin-Gutierrez, 39, of Navojoa, Sonora, made his initial appearance Wednesday before U.S. Magistrate Judge Jacqueline Marshall after being arrested Tuesday.

Before the arrest, a federal grand jury returned a three-count indictment Nov. 16 on charges of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute about 9,500 pounds of marijuana and other charges.

The indictment alleges that on April 17, 2003, Rochin-Gutierrez possessed with an intent to distribute about 2,969 pounds of marijuana.

It also states that on Dec. 16, 2004, he possessed with the intent to distribute 3,520 pounds of marijuana.

Rochin-Gutierrez has a detention hearing and arraignment set for Friday.
