Murder suspect arrested at border
A Mexican national who is wanted in a slaying here was arrested at San Ysidro Port of Entry, authorities said Monday.
Gregorio Vidaca Gonzalez, 49, entered the government checkpoint on foot about 9 p.m. Friday, presented a border crossing card and requested a permit to travel into the United States, said Vincent Bond, spokesman for U.S. Customs and Border Enforcement.
Agents took Vidaca into custody after a computer check revealed that he was the subject of a no-bail murder warrant out of Norwalk, Bond said. He was booked into county jail in San Diego pending extradition to Los Angeles County.
