30th sex offender arrested by BP agents this year
Agents arrested previously deported sex offender 30-year-old Jose Humberto Ojeda-Gutierrez after he illegally tried to enter the United States shortly after 3 p.m. on Thursday.
Ojeda-Gutierrez had a misdemeanor conviction in Colorado for Sexual Contact-No Consent with a juvenile back in April of 2004.
He was sentenced to 40 hours of community service and one-year probation after the 2004 conviction.
“Keeping our communities safe from dangerous criminals such as these is vital to our role as Border Patrol agents,” said Chief Patrol Agent Gloria I. Chavez.
