Bridge inspectors stopped a convicted child molester trying to come back into the United States at the Bridge of the Americas on Monday night, Customs and Border Protection officials said.

Jose Enrique Martinez, 47, of Juárez, claimed to be a U.S. citizen and was arrested for making a false claim to U.S. citizenship and re-entry after deportation.

Martinez had previously been convicted of indecency with a child, attempted sexual assault, burglary and assault on a public servant. The same day, bridge inspectors in El Paso identified three fugitives, officials said.
