DETROIT MAN SUES CANADIAN CUSTOMS OFFICIALS
A Detroit man is suing Canadian customs officials for harassment at the border. Jerome Almon, 41, filed a $900
million lawsuit against several high-ranking customs and immigration officials as well as individual customs agents.
Almon, who is the founder and CEO of Detroit rap label Murdercap Records, alleges that he's been "repeatedly subject
