Where do Americans get into the most trouble abroad? We’ve got the answer.
In which country did Americans get arrested the most number of times? Not surprisingly, the country which shares a border with several US states and is a popular tourist location: Mexico. In fact, five Mexican cities placed among the top ten cities where Americans were arrested in 2006, according to an article in the San Francisco Chronicle. In Tijuana alone 520 Americans were arrested, with Guadalajara (at 416) and Nuevo Laredo (359) rounding out the top three cities. Mexico City placed fifth with 208, Merida and Nogales placed eighth and ninth respectively.
Rounding out the top ten: London, England took fourth; Toronto, Canada placed sixth, Nassau, Bahamas took seventh and Hong Kong placed tenth.
The article notes that alcohol, drugs and illegal possession of firearms are some of the main reasons for arrests in neighbouring Canada and Mexico.
