DONNA, Texas – U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Field Operations officers at the Donna International Bridge arrested a man returning from Mexico early Tuesday morning after learning he had an outstanding warrant for Sexual Assault of a Child under 17 out of the Everman Police Department in Everman, Texas.

“Officers at border crossings frequently encounter travelers with outstanding warrants for their arrest. When those warrants are for crimes of a sexual nature against children, it underscores the public safety impact of our border security mission,” said Port Director Walter Weaver, Progreso/Donna Port of Entry.

The apprehension occurred on Tuesday, Feb. 3 at the Donna International Bridge. CBP officers referred a vehicle driver to secondary for further inspection due to a possible match to an outstanding warrant.

In secondary, CBP officers conducted a biometric fingerprint check and utilizing national law enforcement databases confirmed the identity of the driver as 20-year-old Juan Miguel Bustos Jr., a United States citizen from Everman, Texas, wanted by the Everman Police Department on an outstanding felony warrant for sexual assault of a child under the age of 17. CBP officers turned Bustos over to the Donna Police Department for adjudication of the warrant. Charges and allegations contained in criminal complaints are merely accusations. Defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
