MEXICO CITY, June 24 (Xinhua) -- Mexican authorities said Sunday they have arrested an American citizen accused in the United States of sexually assaulting a minor.
According to the National Security Commission (CNS), the 73-year-old suspect, identified only as Earl, was arrested in El Canton, a small town near Mexico's Pacific coast resort of Puerto Vallarta.
Mexican officials acted on an arrest warrant issued by a court in the U.S. state of Florida against the native of Louisiana state.
The arrest is the result of information exchanged with the U.S. Marshals Service, the CNS said in a statement.
The man, who was driving a red SUV when arrested, was delivered to Mexico's National Immigration Institute (INM) for handover to the United States.
