A series of restraining orders involving Leonard George detail strife in the workplace, at both CBP and his former employer, prior to his arrest
A federal magistrate judge ruled Tuesday that a U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer charged with allowing drugs to pass through ports of entry in exchange for bribes is a flight risk and should remain in custody without bail.by a public official and two charges for conspiracy to traffic and distribute drugs. Prosecutors allege George allowed vehicles containing stashes of methamphetamine, fentanyl, cocaine and heroin to enter the U.S. from Mexico.
In requesting that George not be allowed to post bond, the prosecutor told U.S. Magistrate Judge Barbara Major that the defendant, who owns a home in San Ysidro with his wife and three children, has spent the past two or three years living a “secret life” apart from his family that included 39 trips to Tijuana so far this year. Calderon-Peñaloza argued George has “significant ties to Mexico,” including to a woman who works in Tijuana’s red-light district.
George allegedly told a clinician that he’d been placed on administrative leave at work, which caused him to stress out and have a panic attack, according to a detective’s declaration for the gun violence restraining order. Nietor conceded that his client traveled frequently to Mexico, but said it was usually for day trips to visit bars and clubs.
A verbal altercation broke out in the secondary inspection area while officers were fingerprinting and trying to identify his brother, with the officers claiming George became hostile, and George arguing the officers were threatening him, the records state.
