Strange story. He tried to claim asylum in Canada but was denied. Shortly before being deported in 2015, he and his wife drove across the border to Vermont, where they were arrested. The judge reviewing the paperwork for extradition noticed that the arrest warrant was dated before the date of the alleged crime, and declared it invalid in the state of Vermont.
