ROUSES POINT, N.Y. – U.S. Customs and Border Protection Office of Field Operations officers at the Rouses Point Amtrak Station arrested Louis Haddad yesterday, a 40-year old male U.S. citizen, who was wanted in Nevada on fraud charges.

“CBP works closely with our state and local partners to ensure wanted criminals are found and turned over to the proper authorities to face their charges,” said Area Port Director Paul Mongillo. “Our officers work diligently to protect our nation’s borders and keep our communities safe.”
CBP officers encountered Haddad attempting entry into the U.S. aboard an Amtrak train on June 30. Officers discovered that Haddad was wanted in Las Vegas on fraud charges. CBP confirmed the outstanding warrant, and Haddad was turned over to New York State Police to face extradition.
