TUCSON, AZ (AP) -
A Mexican man wanted in Washington state for child molestation has been arrested at the border in Arizona.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials say 44-year-old Rey Guzman-Vidals was found entering the country illegally Monday near the city of Ajo.
Tucson Sector Border Patrol agents say a records check revealed Guzman had a warrant issued by the King County Sheriff's Office in Seattle.
He is being processed for immigration violations and will then be transported to Seattle for prosecution.
Border agents say this is the second arrest in this sector in the past week of a fugitive wanted for child molestation.

Attorney General Mark Brnovich announced Manuel Pulido-Cebreros was sentenced to 3 years in prison for possession of 2,000 opioid pills laced with Fentanyl.
In November 2017, Manuel Pulido-Cebreros was arrested during an opioid drug seizure operation by Arizona's High-Intensity Drug Trafficking Area Task Force or HIDTA.
Pulido-Cebreros was reportedly carrying approximately 1,000 pills laced with Fentanyl. The pills were blue and stamped with "M" and "30."
Police also searched Pulido-Cebreros' car, where they found an additional 1,000 pills of the drug.
In January 2018, Pulido-Cebreros pleaded guilty to possessing the narcotic drug, and admitted that he was trying to sell the pills.
Fentanyl is a potent synthetic opioid drug approximately 100 times more potent than morphine and 50 times more potent than heroin.
In recent years, Fentanyl has become more widely available in the United States and grown as a threat to public safety.
It only takes a very small amount of Fentanyl, which can be inhaled or absorbed through the skin, to result in serious adverse reactions and even death.

Navolato, in Sinaloa, is the tenth most violent municipality in the country, according to the "Municipal Violence Index 2017", of the Citizen Council for Public Security and Criminal Justice (CCSPJP),
a non-governmental organization that since 2012 has been carrying out this type of listings, which measure the homicides that occur in 250 Mexican cities with more than 100 thousand inhabitants.
In the ranking of the civil association, the municipality of Tecomán, in the state of Colima, obtained 103.83 points, the highest municipal index in all of Mexico, equivalent to four times the national average of violence.
"It should be noted that in 2015, Tecomán was ranked 85th in the Municipal Violence Index, with 20.46 points,"
said José Antonio Ortega Sánchez, president of the association, when presenting the Index, which indicated that Mexico's second most violent city is Manzanillo, also in Colima,
followed by Chilapa de Álvarez, Guerrero.
To the first three sites, they are followed by the municipalities of
Acapulco, Guerrero; Tijuana and Playas de Rosarito, in Baja California; Los Cabos, in Baja California Sura; Apatzingán, in Michoacán; Chilpancingo, in Guerrero;
Navolato, in Sinaloa; Zihuatanejo, also in Guerrero; and Colima, capital of the homonymous state.
They complete the list of the 20 most violent cities in the country: Iguala, in Guerrero; Tlalnepantla, in the State of Mexico; Zacatecas, in the same state; La Paz, in BCS;
Fresnillo, also in Zacatecas; Guadalupe, in Nuevo León; Center (Villahermosa), in Tabasco; and Victoria, in Tamaulipas.
In order to elaborate the Index, the Citizen Council took into account the municipal rates of the crimes of intentional homicide, kidnapping, rape, malicious injuries, robberies with violence and extortion.
Ortega Sánchez affirmed that the criminal statistics show not only the absence of forceful strategies against crime, but the lack of political will and strong local police.
Ortega Sánchez also indicated that the "most dramatic" change in the reconfiguration of violence is the inclusion of three municipalities of Colima
(Tecomán, Manzanillo, and the city of the same name) among the 20 most violent localities.
"In the case of Colima we see a very clear dispute between two groups, Cártel Jalisco Nueva Generación [CJNG] and the Sinaloa Group, which are fighting for control and that's where the violence is taking place,"
said the president of the CCSPJP.
"Today the authority is not doing what it should do, something is missing, political will, and that political will must be reflected in lowering these horrific figures of violence," said Ortega Sánchez.
"We Mexicans do not deserve this Country, we do not want this Country,
we want a Country in peace for our families, for our people with whom we work, for all of society, we need and need peace to live peacefully," said the president of the CCSPJP .

Although the year began with fewer murders in Sinaloa, Culiacán remains one of the red hot spots in this crime.
For the first time in 18 months, Sinaloa reached the yellow color in the crime of homicide, according to the Traffic Light.
The murders registered in January, 90 in total, are below the 103 that this tool indicates as an average and was placed at 13 units below the target.
To make matters better, most of the municipalities of Sinaloa changed from yellow to green; Culiacán and El Fuerte are the only ones in red, with 52 and 5 crimes this month; Ahome with seven and Salvador Alvarado with two, are in yellow; and all the others in green.
Another of the most prominent movements was Mazatlan, which went from yellow to green, with nine incidents.
"To continue improving we need to have one of the best police forces in Mexico and that is what we are working on together with society and government," said Javier Llausás Magaña, who is part of the State Public Safety Council.
The other reported crimes that are in yellow in Sinaloa are extortion, with seven incidents in the state; family violence, with 126 incidents, and business theft with 74.
