A Mexican man convicted of sexual assault was caught near Brownsville this weekend.

Border Patrol agents apprehended the man during the early morning hours of Saturday, Jan. 17 after a records check revealed he was convicted back in 2007. U.S. Border Patrol announced the arrest on Sunday.

The man spent four years behind bars after being arrested in Ohio by the Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office.

Agents out of the Fort Brown station appended the man, and the case has been turned over to the Brownsville Prosecutions Unit.

The man had been previously deported, and was processed as a reinstatement of a prior order of removal.

His identity was not released.
