U.S. Border Patrol officials say two Canadian teenagers were briefly apprehende­d after they accidental­ly crossed the U.S. border into Montana while playing the game “Pokemon Go.” Border Patrol agent John South says the teens were engrossed and wandered into the United States. South says agents detained them while contacting their mother, who was nearby on the Canadian side. The agents then released the children to their mother. South says they were detained Thursday near Sweet Grass, Mont., which borders the town of Coutts, Alta.
