A Maine resident is facing two $5,000 fines for twice crossing the U.S.-Canada border so he could attend church.

The U.S. Bureau of Customs and Border Protection recently notified Richard Albert, 52, of the fines, saying he violated new tighter security regulations by crossing back into the U.S. on Sundays, when the local crossing station was closed, reported the Bangor Daily News.

According to the report, Albert's home is right next to the U.S. Customs office, a mere 30 yards from the international border. His church, however, is on the Canadian side.

Although Albert has been crossing the border with relative freedom for more than 40 years, the feds have eliminated the program that allows pre-approved people to cross the border when border stations are closed.
