A 44-year-old Coquitlam man was arrested at the Peace Arch border crossing on Saturday after border guards discovered he was wanted on a warrant for the aggravated sexual assault of a child in Texas.
Sheriff’s deputies in Tarrant County, which includes the Fort Worth area, confirmed the warrant and the suspect was taken to a holding cell.
He was later booked into the Whatcom County Jail under a fugitive from justice warrant and is being held on a $25,000 bail before his expected extradition to Texas.
A Tarrant County sheriff’s member confirmed Senthil Velan Sundaram has not yet been transported to Texas.
