A Juárez municipal police officer was arrested last week while allegedly smuggling cocaine into El Paso, U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials said.
Juarense charged with 5 murders
The alleged co-conspirators in Santillán's drug charges are Ismael Bueno, 52, of Hereford, Texas; Jesus Rodriguez Rodriguez, 37, of Durango, Mexico; and Homero Nevarez Montoya, 24, of Chicago, who are in U.S. federal custody. Eight more men who have not been located were indicted in absentia. They are Edmundo Castillo Flores, 51, of Torreon, Mexico; Jesus "Chato" Delgado, 41, of El Paso; Chris Sepulveda, 24, of El Paso; Arturo Bustillos, 39, of Horizon City; Miguel Loya Gallegos, 35, of Juárez; and three men only identified as "Julio," "Ramon" and "Manuel Lujan."
Miguel Loya Gallegos is the Chihuahua state police commander that officials believed took part in the murders and who is now a fugitive.

Two years later, he escaped from prison. His whereabouts were unknown until Jan. 27, when Borunda, using the name Juan Tarango Mendoza, and two other men allegedly tried to kidnap a farmer in Camargo, Chihuahua. A judge authorized his extradition.
