A woman from Saskatoon who was an inspector for the Canadian Border Service Agency (CBSA) will spend three years in a United States prison for helping smuggle more than 700 kilograms of marijuana into the U.S.
Rose Chetrit Palmer, who worked for the agency in Stanstead, Que., crossed the border into Vermont in September 2004 and was arrested on an outstanding warrant.
The 53-year-old woman, who had worked with the agency for 20 years, pleaded guilty last April to conspiring with eight other people to import more than 100 kilograms of marijuana into the U.S.
