Officers identified the driver as a 35-year-old man from Tennessee and discovered his outstanding warrants, according to the news release from police.
“It was revealed he had outstanding warrants for aggravated statutory rape, soliciting sexual exploitation of a minor and especially aggravated sexual exploitation of a minor from the United States,” it added.
When the out-of-country warrants were discovered, the man was arrested and turned over to the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA). Police said they also notified the FBI and the Greenbrier Police Department in the state of Tennessee.
He will be held by the CBSA until he is released to the U.S., where he will face charges, according to police.
