BORDER AGENT ACCUSED OF TRYING TO SMUGGLE POT

GRAND FORKS, N.D. - A Canada Border Services Agency officer and
another Canadian citizen have been charged with conspiracy after
allegedly attempting to smuggle more than 22 kilograms of marijuana
into the United States, authorities said. Gary Graboski, 35, who
worked as a border inspector for the Canadian agency, was arrested on
May 13 just south of the Pinecreek, Minn., port of entry. Agents
determined he intended to deliver the marijuana hidden in the bed of
his pickup to another man. The investigation led to the arrest a short
time later of Loran Stewart, 37, also a Canadian citizen, in Warroad,
Minn.
