“U.S. Customs & Border Protection officers work around the clock at a very busy Atlanta international airport, and sometimes encounter travelers wanted on outstanding arrest warrants,” said Carey Davis, CBP Port Director for the Area Port of Atlanta. “CBP remains steadfast and vigilant to return fugitives to these wanting jurisdiction to face their charges.”

CBP examines flight manifests and sometimes encounters passengers in the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) database with outstanding arrest warrants. NCIC is a centralized automated database designed to share information among law enforcement agencies including outstanding warrants for a wide range of offenses.

CBP officers contacted the wanting law enforcement agency, confirmed the warrants remained active, and initiated the extradition process. The four fugitives that CBP arrested at ATL are:

  • Farzin Abdi, 34, of Jacksonville, Fla., was wanted by Richmond County, Ga., authorities for identity fraud. He was attempting to board a flight to Toronto, Canada.
  • Christopher Daniel Hopper, 27, of Madison, Miss., was wanted by Mississippi Depart of Corrections for felony driving under influence. He was stopped prior to boarding a flight to Montreal, Canada.
  • Jordan Briche Stansbury, 29, of Portland, Ore., was wanted by Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office in Albuquerque, N.M., for receiving stolen property. She was attempting to board a flight to the Bahamas.
  • Mamoudou Damaro Camara, 25, of Kennesaw, Ga., was wanted by Fulton County Sheriff’s Office in Atlanta for a probation violation.
