A former U.S. Border Patrol agent was sentenced Thursday to 15 years in federal prison after he pleaded guilty to transporting drugs, taking bribes and worker's compensation fraud, authorities said.

Juan Luis Sanchez, 32, was sentenced by a U.S. District Court judge after he admitted to transporting at least 3,000 pounds of marijuana in his Border Patrol vehicle from 2002 to January 2004, according to a press release from the U.S. Attorney's Office in Arizona.

Sanchez, who is from Rio Rico, carried loads on six separate occasions ranging from 376 to 921 pounds and received $45,000 in bribes, the press release stated.

He also admitted to collecting worker's compensation benefits, even after he recovered from an injury sustained during an on-duty vehicle accident, the press release stated.
