On April 8, 2017, just before 1am, Emerson RCMP received a request for assistance at the Emerson Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) port of entry for a detained person in cells who was acting aggressively.
Police say that a 37-year-old man had illegally crossed the border and was apprehended by RCMP. He was searched, identified and screened before being taken to the CBSA port of entry to make a refugee claim. When the male was placed in cells pending the processing of his claim, he threatened to harm CBSA officers, damaged the fire sprinkler inside his cell and physically assaulted an officer.
RCMP report that Ahmed Aden Ali, from Minneapolis, has been charged with uttering threats, mischief over $5,000 and assaulting a peace officer.
