Davila's altered prints |
A Dominican man allegedly tried to get by Customs and Border Protection anti-terrorism officers in Boston by altering his fingerprints.
Freddy Davila was arrested on June 9, said Customs and Border Protection in a statement released on June 29, while he was trying to board a flight from Boston to Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic. He was stopped and questioned by CBP officers who found his fingerprints had been intentionally altered to avoid law enforcement identification. Davila was arrested by CBP officers from the port of Boston Anti-Terrorism Contraband Enforcement Team outbound division, said the agency.
CBP said it sometimes conducts departure/outbound examinations for compliance of documentary and other regulatory requirements, focusing on currency, weapons, export violations, and fugitives exiting the U.S. “In this case, CBP officers determined that Davila’s fingerprints appeared to have been altered and determined that further investigation was necessary,” it said.
