Border patrol agents at Washington Dulles International Airport Friday in separate incidents arrested two Washington-area men for felony sex offenses. Both were trying to fly to Central America.
The first incident involved Kadrian Mitchell, a 42-year-old Alexandria, Virginia, man, wanted by the Prince George’s County Sheriff’s Office in Maryland on charges of felony second-degree rape.
Mr. Mitchell was attempting to board a plane to Panama when he was arrested by Customs and Border Protection agents.
Later Friday, CBP agents arrested Alexander Mercado Amaya, a 31-year-old Gaithersburg, Maryland, resident in the U.S. illegally, as he attempted to board a flight to El Salvador.
CBP did not specify Mr. Amaya’s country of origin.
Mr. Amaya is wanted by the Montgomery County Police Department on charges of felony second-degree and felony fourth-degree sex offenses.
CBP handed both men over to the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority Police, the agency said.
