Three former Atlanta airport employees found guilty in federal court

Two former employees of the Transportation Security Administration and a former Delta Air Lines employee assigned to Atlanta's Hartsfield Jackson airport have pleaded guilty in federal court to involvement in a drug-smuggling operation.

The former Delta employee, 42-year-old Leslie Adgar, and one of the former TSA workers, 44-year-old Jon Patton, plead guilty Wednesday to conspiring to distribute cocaine and heroin.

The other former TSA worker, 24-year-old Andre Mays, pleaded guilty to entering a secure airport area in violation of screening requirements.

Sentencing is scheduled for Sept. 17. Adgar and Patton face a minimum sentence of 10 years in prison. Patton could receive up to one year in prison.
