Alleged Child Molester Arrested in Tijuana, Turned Over to SDPD

A man wanted on suspicion of molesting a child has been arrested in Mexico and turned over to the San Diego Police.

Salvador Meza-Paz, 52, was wanted on a Jan. 2014 warrant for two counts of lewd conduct with a child under 14, U.S. Marshals say, but officials did not release any more information about what the suspect is accused of.

Using information from U.S. Marshals and the SDPD, Tijuana Municipal Police arrested Meza-Paz at an auto shop where he worked on Thursday.

That evening, he was turned over to Marshals at the San Ysdiro Port of Entry and then transferred to SDPD detectives.

He is being held on a $750,000 bond at the San Diego Central Jail. He will next appear in court on Sept. 24.
