A federal judge sentenced a former supervisor with U.S. Customs and Border Protection who conspired with his ex-wife to smuggle goods into the U.S. in exchange for bribes to serve three years and nine months in prison.
U.S. District Court Judge Dean D. Pregerson also ordered Sam Herbert Allen Jr., 54, of San Juan Capistrano, to pay $781,632 in restitution to compensate for duties that were not paid on the smuggled goods.
