Police: Mexican Federal Agent Caught With Several Rounds of Ammo Won’t Face Charges

Reported by: Erica Proffer


 
 
HIDALGO - Police say a Mexican federal agent was caught with several rounds of ammo and a dummy grenade but won’t face any charges.

Last week, local authorities say someone tried to cross the Hidalgo bridge carrying weapons and a grenade. Turns out, much of what happened may never be told. The feds aren't prosecuting.

Federal agents and officers stepped up southbound inspections in recent months. They're looking for cash and weapons going south. Sources say the Mexican federal agent had hundreds of rounds of ammunition, tactical gear and a grenade. The grenade found wasn't live. It was hollowed out.

Federal authorities there at the bridge could not talk about the incident because it's not being prosecuted. The U.S. Attorney General's Office says they can't talk about their prosecutorial discretion process. The case is still under investigation.
