WASHINGTON (AP) -- Government officials say a decorated federal immigrations officer has been arrested on drug distribution charges.
The officials tell The Associated Press that Special Agent Kevin Merkel is accused in a secret indictment of possession and intent to distribute crystal methamphetamine. They spoke on condition of anonymity because charges have not been unsealed. It is not clear if Merkel has been cooperating with authorities since his arrest.
Merkel was arrested by the FBI on Oct. 29. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement declined to comment Wednesday.
Merkel is a veteran officer who won the Attorney General's Award for Excellent in Law Enforcement. He also worked on an initiative with local law enforcement agencies to deport illegal aliens in police custody.
