Kosovo citizen tries to illegally enter U.S.
U.S. border agents arrested a Kosovo citizen as he attempted to enter the United States illegally using the Whirlpool Rapids Bridge, a report states.
At approximately 4 a.m., Monday, a U.S. Customs and Border Protection agent patrolling the railroad portion of the bridge spotted a man wearing dark clothing attempting to conceal himself as he crossed illegally into the U.S., the report states. Agents arrested the male before he could enter New York.
Agents searched the man and found him to be in possession of marijuana. The man was taken to Niagara Falls Border Patrol Station for processing.
U.S. Customs say record checks indicate the man has numerous criminal convictions and an active warrant in Canada.
He will face federal criminal charges for illegal entry into the U.S. The allegations and charges have not been proven in court.
