Border Arrests

Two men have been arrested in separate incidents at area border crossings last week.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers at the Warroad port of entry refused an 38-year-old Manitoba man from entering the U.S. last Thursday after determining he had outstanding arrest warrants.

The man was escorted to Canada Border Services where he was later turned over to the RCMP.

The next day, U.S. officers arrested an American man at the Grand Portage port of entry after learning he had been reported AWOL from the United States Marine Corps.
