STERLING, Va., – U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers arrested a Maryland man on Florida child molestation charges at Washington Dulles International Airport Monday as the man attempted to board a flight to Dubai, U.A.E.

While conducting outbound enforcement, CBP officers encountered Clement Francis, 37, of Germantown, Md., who is wanted in Santa Rosa County, Fla., on charges of lewd and lascivious acts on a minor.

CBP officers escorted Francis to the International Arrivals Building where officers verified Francis’ identity. Officers verified with Santa Rosa Sheriff’s Department that the warrant remained active and that they desired to extradite Francis. CBP officers arrested Francis and turned him over to Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority Police officers.

“Customs and Border Protection officers sometimes encounter travelers with outstanding arrest warrants and we work to return them to the jurisdiction of their criminal charges,” said Wayne Biondi, CBP Port Director for the Area Port of Washington Dulles. “This warrant arrest is another example of CBP’s collaboration with our law enforcement partners to protect victims’ rights, return fugitives to justice, and to help keep our communities safe.”
