Jockey held as illegal alien

Marco Ccamaque, a 35-year-old jockey at Presque Isle Downs, was arrested Friday night for being in the country illegally, according to the Daily Racing Form.

The racing publication quotes Jim Perfetto of the Pennsylvania Racing Commission as saying that Ccamaque, a native of Lima, Peru, was arrested because he had no work papers and was in the country illegally. "He will be held in ... Erie County ... and then taken to York for a hearing before an immigration judge," Perfetto said.

The U.S. Border Patrol's local office could not be reached for comment Monday evening.
