(AP)The U.S. attorney's office in San
Diego says the son of one of Mexico's
most wanted drug lords has been
arrested on drug trafficking charges
while entering the United States.
Spokeswoman Kelly Thornton says
Serafin Zambada was arrested
Wednesday while crossing the border in
Nogales, Ariz., with his wife, who was
detained and released.
Zambada is scheduled to appear before
a federal judge in Tucson on Monday.
Prosecutors plan to ask that he be sent
to San Diego to face charges.
Zambada is the son of Ismael "El Mayo"
Zambada, who survived decades of turf
wars and rose to the top of the
underworld through savvy deal-
brokering.
Ismael Zambada is considered the
strategist of the Sinaloa cartel, more
involved in daily operations than his
better-known boss, Joaquin "El Chapo"
Guzman.
