Moreno is among several people in local law enforcement and criminal justice fields who have been charged with allegedly trying to bring drugs into the United States or permitting drug trafficking. Ana Sofia Lopez Osuna, a Baja California Attorney General's Office employee, was arrested in June after prosecutors say she met up with a man in National City who was caught with cocaine.
