Officials of the border police in Golfito* in Puntarenas, detained an U.S. citizen, surnamed Mohns, age 38, who has two arrest warrants from U.S.

The police report that Mohns was identified by officials during an regular operation carried out in the town of Puerto Jiménez* in Golfito.

During that police action, the officers were checking the papers of foreigners in the area and found that the identity documents from Mohns placed him in an irregular migratory status.

The problem with his U.S. passport alerted the local police who researched information on international warrants provided by the U.S. police. That search confirmed that Mohns has two active arrest warrants issued in 2018.

"The first arrest warrant was issued by the State of Florida for the crime of aggravated assault and attempted robbery with a gun. The second alert was issued by Virginia for the crime of drug possession," said the border police report.

In addition to the two arrest warrants, police report that Mohns has an extensive criminal record in the U.S. for possession of drugs, violence against the authorities, robberies and for violating traffic laws.
