McALLEN, TX — Authorities arrested a former federal corrections officer accused of smuggling a cellphone to an inmate at the East Hidalgo Corrections Center. Pharr resident Jorge Luis Sandoval, 21, faces one count of bribery in U.S. District Court in McAllen. A federal grand jury Tuesday returned a one-count indictment against Sandoval; it was made public following his arrest. Sandoval is charged with one count of accepting a bribe while acting under the authority of the U.S. Marshals Service as a correctional officer. He worked at the East Hidalgo Detention Center in La Villa, where the indictment states a person paid him cash to smuggle a cellphone into the prison for an inmate. Sandoval is set to appear before U.S. Magistrate Judge Dorina Ramos at an arraignment and detention hearing Friday in federal court in McAllen. Read More. |
