Customs agents arrest fugitive at Falls bridge

U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents have arrested a Vermont man who was wanted on a warrant for conspiracy to manufacture marijuana.

Agents at the Rainbow Bridge were notified Friday by the Canada Border Services Agency that Aaron Goon, 37, was being removed from Canada and returned to the U.S. Canadian authorities said Goon was stopped by Toronto Police on Nov. 11, for riding his bicycle without lights.

A warrant check revealed that Goon was the subject of a U.S. federal arrest warrant issued in Vermont in 1998. It was also determined that Goon was living illegally in Canada.

He was arrested and turned over to Canadian immigration authorities for deportation proceedings.

CBP agents said Goon was the subject of an active nation-wide, no bond, warrant issued in May 1999. Goon was arrested in June 1998 by the Vermont State Police on charges of conspiracy to manufacture marijuana.

Goon told Customs agents entered Canada shortly after his arrest, and has been living there illegally ever since.
