Hmm. I used to live in East Holden, where this fellow resides, and though there were plenty of deer, we didn't hunt them with AK-47s or semi-automatic pistols. Perhaps Iraq customs are different

Feds arrest Iraqi man in Ellsworth after he tried to buy guns

U.S. Customs and Border Patrol agents from Calais arrested an Iraqi man in Ellsworth who they say overstayed his visa and provided false statements on background check paperwork while attempting to purchase guns, CBP Houlton Sector said in a Facebook post. 

The man, who was not publicly identified, allegedly attempted to purchase an AK-47 assault-style rifle and a 9 mm pistol from an unidentified business, the agency said. He was arrested on Oct. 20 in Ellsworth, but where he tried to buy the firearms is not clear.

The investigation that led to the man’s arrest began with the Holden Police Department in Holden, roughly 20 miles north of Ellsworth along Route 1A, Holden Police Chief Eddie Benjamin told the Bangor Daily News. Benjamin declined to share additional information, citing that Border Patrol had taken over the case.
