A male suspect, who Texarkana authorities say was headed out of the country has been arrested.
Texarkana Texas Police were searching for Porfirio Ruiz, Jr., who had a Felony Warrant for alleged Continuous Sexual Abuse of a Young Child.
Here is the latest Press Release from the police department:
Authorities now say that Ruiz was arrested by Border Patrol officers in Brownsville as he attempted to cross into Mexico. Detective Tabitha Smith had alerted them earlier in the week that she thought that he might try that so they were basically waiting on him to show up. He’s being held in the Cameron County Jail and will be transported back to Texarkana in the very near future.
