Deputy U.S. marshal arrested, accused of blowing agent’s cover
McALLEN, Texas (AP) — A deputy U.S. marshal was arrested in South Texas on Tuesday for allegedly disclosing the identity of an undercover agent to his father, who at the time was suspected of involvement in a drug trafficking organization, federal prosecutors said.
Deputy U.S. Marshal Lucio Osbaldo Moya’s bond was set at $75,000. Moya, 29, of Rio Grande City, faces charges of being an accessory after the fact and obstruction. He could receive up to 20 years in prison if convicted of the accessory charge.
Moya stood alone in a blue golf shirt and jeans as U.S. Magistrate Judge Dorina Ramos explained the charges against him and terms of his bond Tuesday afternoon. He did not speak during the brief proceeding and did not have a lawyer with him.
Reached by phone after the hearing, Moya’s attorney Paul Looney said Moya had been prepared for his arrest after months of discussions with authorities, but denies any wrongdoing.
Besides setting the bond, Ramos ordered Moya to surrender his passport and restrict his travel to the Southern District of Texas. She said he would be under electronic monitoring and home detention, but also instructed him to find a job. The U.S. Attorney’s office said Moya has been on paid administrative leave.
Moya became a deputy marshal in 2009, according to the U.S. Attorney’s office.
