Lol… This wasn’t a foreigner. This was a guy that relinquished their drivers license, social security number and US citizenship. He was pulled over and charged with no drivers license and providing false documents. I think the video of his case was deleted since the courts aren’t obligated to keep them long term.
If I were to harbor a guess, that movie you watched was Stand By Me. The leech scene as a kid freaked me out too.
