At the top of the draft list for the Ogdensburg US Border Service office

A CFL agent has found himself out of touch with his clients for the foreseeable future, after  being placed under arrest by US customs officials over an outstanding warrant.

According to media reports, CFL agent Mark Maren was placed under arrest in December, after applying for admission to the United States at the Ogdensburg, New York border crossing.

Upon a record check conducted by US border officials it was learned that there was a felony warrant issued against him out of Florida over fraud related incidents.

A press release issued by the US Border Services office also stated that Maren had an extensive criminal record in Canada, which made him inadmissible into the United States.

He reportedly is currently in jail in the United States, awaiting extradition to Florida

Among his clients in the CFL are Kevin Glenn, Barrin Simpson, Obby Khan, Joe Lobendahn and Otis Floyd.
