The next morning, at about 1 a.m., Paul Pray, a 37-year-old U.S. citizen, applied for entry through a trusted traveler vehicle lane. CBP Officers queried law enforcement databases and matched the man to a warrant.  CBP officers referred him to secondary for further processing.

 

CBP officers confirmed that Paul Pray had an active warrant for assault from the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department with a bail set at $100,000.
