Comments 0 | Recommend 0

Border Patrol agents on Sunday arrested three men who entered illegally from Mexico, one of whom has an extensive criminal record, according a Border Patrol news release.

One of the three arrested near Winterhaven was identified by the patrol as Pedro Alvarado-Suarez 41, who has record of 23 arrests in Arizona, California, Montana, and Washington dating back to 1986. Alvarado-Suarez's prior charges were of robbery, burglary, assault, possession and sale of a controlled substance, vehicle theft and unlawful use of firearm, the release said.

He served a total of eight years in prison and 13 years on probation, the release said.

A records check also disclosed Alvarado-Suarez was deported three times by immigration officials.

He and the two others had crossed the All-American Canal two miles west of Andrade, Calif., at about 11 p.m. Sunday. Agents tracked the individuals to a location near Winterhaven, where they offered no resistance when arrested, the release said. They were transported to the patrol's Yuma station for processing, the release said.

Alvarado-Suarez told agents he was on his way to board a freight train to Seattle at the time of his arrest. He will be charged for re-entry after deportation, illegal entry, and reinstatement of deportation, the release said.

The status of the other two was not immediately available.
