Bruce Mayberry, Unlawful Entry, Maine 2015

A 55-year-old Windham man was sentenced to a day in jail and fined $3,000 for unlawfully entering the United States from Canada.

Bruce Mayberry, 55, of Windham, Maine, failed to present at a border crossing point when he entered the United States on October 29, 2015.

According to court records, Mayberry triggered sensors and was observed by a U.S. Border Patrol agent entering the United States on a field road leading from New Brunswick into Maine.

After the Border Patrol agent conducted a vehicle stop, the driver admitted he had entered through the field road and had been in Canada for a few days.

An officer employed by the Canadian Border Services Agency reported that Mayberry, a U.S. citizen, had previously been refused entry into Canada as a result of his criminal history.

U.S. Attorney Thomas E. Delahanty II stated that the Justice Department and the Department of Homeland Security are committed to securing the international border and ensuring that those who seek to enter our country present themselves at designated crossing points and ports of entry.

In imposing sentence, Magistrate Judge John Nivison emphasized the importance of border security and the need to deter others from unlawfully crossing our nation’s borders.

The investigation was conducted by the Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Border Patrol.

The defendant was also ordered to pay a $1,800 civil penalty and a $500 fee associated with impoundment of his automobile.
