Border Patrol agents in Yuma have arrested a Mexican man who was previously convicted of first-degree murder.
Agents at the Wellton Station's Interstate 8 immigration checkpoint took 50-year-old Andres Cevilla-Julio into custody Saturday night.
They say he entered the U.S. illegally near San Luis near the Arizona-Mexico border.
Records discovered during processing showed Cevilla-Julio was convicted of first-degree murder in Salt Lake City and served 20 years in prison.
He told agents he was headed to Fresno, California, to look for a job.
It was unclear Wednesday if Cevilla-Julio has a lawyer for his case yet.
