EL PASO, Texas – U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers working at the El Paso port of entry arrested a local man being sought on an El Paso County Sheriff’s Department warrant for aggravated sexual assault of a child.
“CBP officers are thorough and diligent in their processing of all arriving people and those efforts routinely identify people being sought by law enforcement, Said Ray Provencio, acting El Paso port director.
The arrest was made just before 9 p.m. when 20-year-old Jorge Manual Garcia arrived at the Bridge of the Americas as a passenger in a 2005 Hyundai Elantra. CBP officers working the primary inspection booth queried all the occupants of the vehicle and received notice that Garcia was being sought. Garcia was processed without incident and turned over to the El Paso Police Department. He is a U.S. citizen.
