Three days later, Francis was lured by federal authorities to San Diego and arrested in a sting operation after a years-long investigation into his company.<\/p>\n<p>Cantu was questioned at the time by a Naval Criminal Investigative Service agent about his contacts with Francis, but gave &#8220;materially false&#8221; responses, the plea agreement states.
