Police say the third migrant managed to enter the waiting vehicle, which then allegedly nearly struck several members of the RCMP’s border patrol team at the scene.
The RCMP say the Cuban national and the driver of the vehicle, who is the man’s wife, turned themselves in on April 23.
The man was assessed by the Canada Border Services Agency and returned to the United States, while his wife faces charges of dangerous operation of a conveyance, conspiracy and failing to report under the Customs Act.
