Border Patrol catches sex offender




Border Patrol agents working in Douglas caught a convicted sex offender from El Salvador sneaking into the United States on Monday, according to the agency.

Carlos Alberto Gonzalez was arrested about 1:30 p.m. about 10 miles east of Douglas. The 30-year-old was convicted and sentenced to two years in 1999 for lewd and lascivious acts with a child in California. He was returned to El Salvador in 2000, according to a news release.

Gonzalez is in federal custody and has been charged with re-entry of an aggravated felon. By comparing fingerprints of apprehended illegal immigrants with an FBI database, Border Patrol apprehended 7,128 convicted criminals from Oct. 1 through June 30, according to the agency. Of those arrests, 105 were on sex-related charges.
