OAKLAND — Federal prosecutors have secured a grand jury indictment against a U.S. Coast Guard commander who was arrested and charged in an alleged scheme to smuggle drugs in from Singapore.

James Silcox III, 41, was indicted Sept. 26 on three charges of importation of a Schedule IV narcotic, court records show. The criminal complaint against him alleges he received three shipments of Tramadol, a controlled substance and narcotic, to post office boxes over the summer.
