No matter what local government officials do, the bad guys always make the same mistake when they drive around Buffalo’s west side.
It was only a few days ago that a Buffalo man driving a stolen car made a wrong turn and ended up on an international bridge into Canada. When he realized his mistake, he naturally tried to turn around and return to the United States. When he was questioned by U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials, things went pretty downhill for him.

Well, it looks like he had some company in prison, as another man apparently did the same thing, only this guy had a car full of guns and magazines.
This time, a 36-year-old man from West Virginia was on the Peace Bridge. According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection officialsThe man accidentally turned onto the Peace Bridge and was on his way to Canada. When he turned around to return to the United States, he did not have valid identification.
Upon further investigation, it was discovered that he was illegally in possession of an AR-15, a 9mm pistol, and several magazines. After checking his record, it was discovered that he had a previous criminal record and was therefore not allowed to own a gun.
The man was subsequently handed over to the Buffalo Police Department, where he was charged with several crimes.
