Aide to Sen. Cochran arrested on drug charge, plan to distribute drugs in exchange for sexual favors

WASHINGTON — An aide to Republican Sen. Thad Cochran of Mississippi has been charged with possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine after federal agents raided his home.

An office administrator for Cochran, Fred W. Pagan, was arrested Thursday.

Washington police officers and agents from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security raided Pagan’s home Thursday and allegedly found 181.5 grams of meth, according to the Washington City Paper.

Court papers said Customs and Border Protection officers found a package on April 9 in Cincinnati, Ohio, that contained 1.1 kilograms of the drug known as GBL. The package was bound for Pagan’s home address.
