BLAINE, WA (MyBellinghamNow.com) – A man accused of murdering his brother in Louisiana was arrested in Blaine on Thanksgiving Day.

The Blaine Police Department says officers were dispatched to the Peace Arch Port of Entry at around 5 p.m. last Thursday, Nov. 28.

They were told that U.S. Customs officers had detained the suspect, identified as 35-year-old Michael Johnson, when he crossed the border from Canada.
