Offenses against kids get three arrested by agents


Published/Last Modified on Thursday, October 15, 2009 2:09 PM MDT


 Border Patrol agents from the Douglas station on Monday arrested three illegal alien males from Mexico; all with criminal records for various offenses against children, authorities said. The arrests occurred in three separate incidents.


All three discoveries resulted from record checks using a fingerprint registry.

The first person had been arrested on allegations of “sex with a minor” and “sex offense against a child-fondling.” The second person had been arrested on multiple counts of “misdemeanor endangering the welfare of a minor” and “misdemeanor public indecency.” The third had been arrested on allegations of “cruelty toward a child” and assault.

All three subjects were held for further processing.

• While deterring the passage of illegal aliens into the United States, a Border Patrol agent assigned to the Nogales station was assaulted Monday by multiple individuals hurling rocks from the Mexican side of the border.  To defend himself, the agent deployed his pepper-ball launching system toward the assailants. The assault stopped.
