A man wanted on aggravated assault charges out of the Dallas County Sheriff’s Office was arrested at the Juarez-Lincoln International Bridge, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers.
The case unfolded Dec. 30 when a CBP officer referred Ruben Andrade, a 28-year-old U.S. citizen, to secondary inspection. Further biometric verification through law enforcement databases confirmed that Andrade had an outstanding warrant for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon out of Dallas County Sheriff’s Office.
“Aggravated assault with a deadly weapon is a serious felony offense,” said Acting Port Director Eugene Crawford, Laredo Port of Entry. “Effective application of our national law enforcement databases allows officers to identify and apprehend wanted fugitives who attempt to make entry into the U.S.”
