Air marshals arrested on drug charges

Two United States air marshals face federal drug charges accusing them of using their positions to smuggle narcotics on to planes for transport.

Shawn Ray Nguyen, 38, and Burlie Sholar, 32, were arrested on February 9 after an informant delivered 14.85kg of cocaine and US$15,000 ($26,500) in "up front money" to Nguyen's Houston home, authorities said.
