ORLANDO, Fla. -- A second arrest has been made in a case involving a Comair airline employee accused of smuggling drugs and weapons to Puerto Rico from Orlando International Airport, federal agents said.
Zabdiel Santiago-Balaguer, of Kissimmee, was arrested late Tuesday, one day after Thomas Anthony Munoz, 22, was caught in Puerto Rico after taking a Delta Air Lines fight from OIA with the 14 weapons and 8 pounds of marijuana in a duffel bag.
Police said they believe the smuggling ring was a two-man operation.
According to an arrest affidavit, Munoz said he was recruited by another employee to smuggle the guns in exchange for money, Local 6 reported.
The report said Munoz and an unidentified man arrived at OIA at about 3 a.m. Monday and used their identification cards to gain excess to restricted areas.
Munoz then placed the guns and drugs by a security area near the departure gate, and by 11 a.m. he boarded the flight with the duffle bag, the affidavit said.
"Authorities said Munoz never went through any security checkpoints, which means TSA (workers) never saw him," "In fact, TSA only does random checks of airport employees."
A Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms representative told Local 6 that Munoz had an automatic weapon in a suitcase on board the flight.
"We have information to the effect that this individual had apparently done this before," Toledo said.
