ALAMOGORDO, N.M. (KRQE-KBIM) - An undercover Alamogordo Department of Public Safety officer has been arrested after officers allegedly found 1.3 pounds of cocaine in his police unit.

Richard Ramsdale has served as an undercover police officer for the Alamogordo Department of Public Safety since last month, a year after he joined the department.

Before that, he served in the narcotics unit in the Otero County Sheriff's Department.

Investigators said the arrest doesn't appear to have compromised any criminal cases.
