ROOSVILLE, Mont. — U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Office of Field Operations (OFO) officers arrested a male U.S. citizen at the port of Roosville, Montana, driving a stolen vehicle.
On April 4, at about 11:30 a.m. Lincoln County Sherriff’s office notified CBP officers a vehicle that had been reported stolen may be heading north toward Canada.
At about noon, Tyler Sloan, 25, was encountered by CBP officers in the outbound lanes at the port of Roosville, and subsequently placed under arrest. Sloan was driving the vehicle that was reported stolen earlier in the day. CBP officers, checking the National Crime Information Center database, determined Sloan also has two outstanding warrants in Montana. Sloan was turned over to the Eureka Police Department.
“The arrest of this suspect is just one example of the many ways law enforcement agencies in the U.S. and Canada work together every day to protect citizens in our countries and our borders,” said Mary Nagy, Port Director at the Roosville Port of Entry.
