BLAINE, Wash. --A man driving into the United States from Canada is being held on charges that he bit a U.S. border guard's finger. Magistrate Judge Monica Benton on Monday ordered Michel Labadie held pending a detention hearing later this week in U.S. District Court.
Labadie was driving into the U.S. on Saturday morning when he was told he had been selected for secondary inspection, according to a complaint filed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
While he was being questioned, a computer check found he had been involved in a previous incident at the border, involving an assault on officers during an inspection, said Senior Special Agent Eric Lehmann of ICE.
Customs and Border Protection Officer Edward Escobar, who witnessed the first incident, was called in. Then Escobar and Labadie had a heated discussion about the Canadian's travel plans and Escobar said Labadie threatened him. When the officers tried to restrain Labadie, Escobar was bitten on his left pinky finger and also sustained an injury to his left elbow.
