A man flew to the US without a passport or a ticket — and managed only to get caught when he arrived in Los Angeles, according to a criminal complaint filed by the FBI on November 6.

Sergey Vladimirovich Ochigava, 46, arrived at Los Angeles International Airport on a Scandinavian Airlines flight from Copenhagen, Denmark, on November 4, per the complaint. At LAX, Customs and Border Protection officials found that Ochigava had no passport or visa. Officials also couldn't find him on the passenger list for any flights.
