SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) Twelve people in Puerto Rico have been indicted on federal charges of smuggling heroin into jails across the U.S. territory.
U.S. Attorney Rosa Emilia Rodriguez said Wednesday that those arrested include a court marshal, five correctional officers, a correctional guard and a correctional nurse.
She says the indictments follow a joint investigation by the FBI and local authorities, including the Puerto Rico Department of Corrections.
