DAYTON — A Dayton man is charged after he was accused of speeding off from an inspection at the Detroit-Canada border late last month.
“It is illegal to bypass an inspection at the border. Any attempt to do so will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,” said Devin Chamberlain, CBP Area Port Director in Detroit.

Agents said Laron Darnell Coleman, 31, fled the Ambassador Bridge after being referred for a secondary inspection, U.S. Customs and Border Protection said.
“He sped away at a high rate of speed; past the secondary inspection area, through the toll booths and onto a metro Detroit freeway,” a release read.
An arrest warrant was issued for Coleman. Dayton police arrested him last week on unrelated charges.
