Jet Ski Brings Man Across Border

The U.S. Border Patrol and Mexican officials arrest two men Saturday afternoon for crossing the U.S.-Mexico border illegally on a Jet Ski. The passenger was arrested in Imperial Beach and the driver in Rosarito, Mexico.

Border Patrol agents arrested a 25-year-old Mexican man brought across the U.S.-Mexico border Saturday afternoon on a Jet Ski and dropped off near the south end of Seacoast Drive.

The man admitted to entering the country illegally and was brought to the Imperial Beach Border Patrol station for "processing and further investigation," a press release said.

Mexican authorities were then notified and the driver of the Jet Ski was arrested after coming ashore in Rosarito, Mexico.
