[SUPER=03-Yellowknife, Canada/Monday; ]

Garrison Bowman appeared at a deportation hearing in Yellowknife, Canada today. Immigration officials say Canadian laws include a section on "inadmissibility" if someone has a criminal background. During the hearing, Canadian officials referred to two U-S charges against Bowman, including a drunken-driving conviction and driving while disqualified. Henry County investigators had planned on trying to interview Bowman, but following the hearing they have decided to wait until he is returned to the U-S. Those investigators will leave Canada tomorrow night.

Authorities say Canadian immigration officials will escort Bowman on a plane to the United States, and will be met by F-B-I agents. So far there is no word on when he will be deported, or where he will be taken.
