Man arrested at Falls bridge as impostor

U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents arrested a Canadian citizen who used another man’s identification to try to cross into the U.S. at the Rainbow Bridge on Thursday.

Marcel Jones of Toronto presented a Canadian passport, belonging to another man, in an effort to conceal his identity from CPB officers. Jones had been denied entrance into the United States previously because of his criminal record.

He is in the custody of the U.S. Marshals and is charged with false statements and fraud related activity in connection with identification documents.
