Blaine, Wash - U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers apprehended a Washington, N.J., man on February 22 who was wanted in Clark County, Nev., for alleged fraud.
Officers arrested Jared Isaacman, 27, upon his arrival to the United States at the Pacific Highway port of entry when a name check revealed that he was the subject of a National Criminal Information Center felony warrant.
"A vital element in our homeland security effort is the apprehension of fugitives from justice," said Area Port Director Gregory Alvarez. "We are proud of our commitment to keep communities safe throughout the United States by continuous vigilance at our nation's borders."
After verification of the warrant for arrest with Clark County officials, Isaacman was immediately taken into custody by CBP officers and transported to the Whatcom County jail for extradition to Nevada.
