The U.S. Marshals Service announced on Monday the arrest of a Connecticut child porn suspect at the Texas border while he attempted to return from Mexico.

He had been arrested on Sept. 18, 2008, by the Connecticut State Police Troop E for two counts of enticing a minor by computer, illegal possession of child pornography, promoting a minor in an obscene performance and risk of injury to a minor.
