RCMP say the border officer was arrested in January after he allegedly broke policy and allowed a transport truck with contraband into Canada.
Police say the truck contained millions of dollars’ worth of opium, cannabis products and tobacco.
The investigation began after Canada Border Services Agency shared information with police about the agent employed at the Queenston-Lewiston entry in Niagara-on-the-Lake.
Both the officer and driver were scheduled to appear in court this month.
