OTAY MESA — A man wanted on suspicion of kidnapping for ransom was arrested by federal agents Monday when he tried to enter the United States at the Otay border-crossing, authorities said.

Luis Angel Salgado, 27, was a passenger in a Honda Accord that stopped at the port of entry, heading north from Mexico, about 2 a.m., the U.S. Customs and Border Protection said.

An officer held Salgado for further investigation. Fingerprint records showed he was wanted on a no-bail, felony warrant for kidnapping for ransom issued for the San Diego Sheriff’s Department, said Customs spokeswoman Jackie Dizdul.

Dizdul said Salgado was booked into county jail.

Sheriff's officials had no information available on the kidnapping case.
