A Jamaican citizen who overstayed his visa and was working as a reserve police officer in Maine was arrested after attempting to purchase a firearm, according to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Jon Luke Evans, 22, entered the United States legally in September 2023 but failed to depart in October of the same year. The attempted gun purchase—allegedly to fulfill his duty at the Old Orchard Beach Police Department—triggered an alert to federal authorities, leading to his arrest in Biddeford by ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) Boston, in coordination with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
