Lamar Wayne Bolton - Registered Sex Offender

Buffalo, N.Y. -- A U.S. citizen wanted in California on sex-offense charges against a child was arrested this weekend at the Canadian border.

Lamar Wayne Bolton was returned to the United States, Canadian officials said in notifying U.S. Customs and Border Protection at the Peace Bridge border crossing on Saturday.

The 38-year-old from San Bernardino, Calif., had applied for entry into Canada on the same day and was being refused admission because of prior criminal convictions in the United States.

A California warrant charges that Mr. Bolton failed to register as a sex offender.
