Daniel Coronado, a 54-year-old man from Alpharetta, Georgia, was arrested by U. S.

His apprehension occurred after he arrived on a flight from Cancun, Mexico, where he was flagged during routine checks against law enforcement databases, including the National Crime Information Center. Coronado was wanted in Forsyth County, Georgia, on serious felony child molestation charges.

CBP officers confirmed the existence of an active felony arrest warrant and subsequently referred him for a more thorough inspection upon his arrival. After verifying his identity, officers arrested him and transported him to the Anne Arundel County Detention Facility in Maryland.
