“The registered owner was identified as an alien without legal immigration status,” the spokesperson said.
Rico Molano admitted to being in the U.S. without legal authorization, and he was arrested and brought to the Dania Beach Border Patrol Station,” reports said.
The cinnamon rolls were still inside his car, and a family member returned them to Pierre, according to Local 10. She ultimately discarded the baked goods rather than risk selling them after they had been sitting in the vehicle for so long.
In social media posts, Pierre clarified that Rico Molano hadn’t intentionally stolen the rolls and that his detention happened before she reported the missing delivery.
She also expressed sympathy for him and his family, and condemned immigration agencies like CBP and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
