A U.S. Marshal contacted Customs and Border Protection officers Tuesday afternoon to report that Mexican immigration officials were in route to the Port of Lukeville, Arizona, with a U.S. fugitive sex offender wanted in Maricopa County for failure to appear and with $20,000 bound.
At approximately 8:30 p.m., Lance Cody Wallis, a 43-year-old U.S. citizen with a fully extraditable warrant out of Maricopa County, was surrendered to CBP Field Operations officers. Wallis was held at the port until a Pima County deputy arrived to take custody.
