AN American fugitive wanted for kidnapping, robbery and other crimes in the US was nabbed by immigration agents in Angeles City, Pampanga.
Wayne Russell Collins was nabbed inside his house in Pampanga after several days of intensive surveillance by members of the bureau’s fugitive search unit. He is now detained at the BI detention facility in Bicutan, Taguig while awaiting deportation, Immigration Commissioner Jaime Morente said.
The 63-year-old Collins was described as a high profile fugitive who was indicted for kidnapping, robbery, homicide, seven counts of assault and battery, six counts of burglary, three counts of domestic violence, three counts of obstruction of justice, and three counts of resisting arrest.
“We have to deport him right away because his presence here poses a serious risk to public safety and security,” the BI chief said.
A warrant for Collin’s arrest was issued by the Justice Court of Mineral Country in Montana, USA and the US embassy said Collins’ passport has already been canceled by the State Department.”¨
“He is therefore an undocumented alien for which reason he will be issued a summary deportation order by our board of commissioners,” said lawyer Arvin Cesar Santos, BI-Legal Division chief.
Santos added that Collins will be included in the BI blacklist to prevent him from re-entering the country.
