U.S. Customs and Border Patrol officers arrested a registered sex offender at the Texas-Mexico border who was wanted for a probation violation in the 2006 sexual assault of a 12-year-old girl in Galveston County.
Martin Noe Muzquiz, 46, was behind bars Wednesday at the Cameron County Jail, where he was awaiting extradition to Galveston County, said Chief Deputy Gus Reyna Jr of the Cameron County Sheriff's Office.
Muzquiz walkted across the border from Mexico at Brownsville's B&M International Bridge when U.S. Customs and Border Patrol officers stopped him for routine check.
"They ran his name and DOB (date of birth) and it came back wanted out of the Galveston County SO," Reyna said.
The background check revealed that Muzquiz was wanted for skipping out on his probation, and for failing to complete his sex offender registration requirements in Galveston.
Muzquiz was convicted in December 2006 of aggravated sexual assault of a child, court records show. He was placed on six years probation and ordered to register as a sex offender.
He also has a conviction for burglary in March 2009 in Brownsville.
