A Mexican national, accused of raping a child, and a registered sex offender were arrested in separate incidents Sunday by Border Patrol agents, officials said.

Numerous drug seizures were also made by federal officers along the border in the past several days.

Diego Figueroa-Martinez, 21, is wanted on charges of rape in West Valley City, Utah, said Gustavo Soto, a patrol spokes-man.

Agents arrested Figueroa-Martinez near the village of Topawa southwest of Tucson. He was taken to the Pinal County jail to await extradition to Utah, Soto said.

Agents also arrested Jose Tenorio-Gonzalez, a registered sex offender in Illinois, on Sunday morning on Arizona 83 southeast of Tucson, Soto said.

Tenorio-Gonzalez had been deported from the United States, Soto said. He is being held for prosecution.

In other border incidents:

● Border Patrol agents found more than 1,230 pounds of marijuana in a GMC Yukon on Friday, Soto said.

The agents attempted to stop the driver of the Yukon for driving erratically near Amado south of Tucson, Soto said.

The driver refused to stop, leading to a chase into the desert where agents found the SUV abandoned, Soto said. The driver was not found, he said.

● Border Protection officers found 3,010 pounds of marijuana hidden between pallets of produce in a vehicle Friday, said Brian D. Levin, a U.S. Customs and Border Protection spokes-man. The marijuana was found while officers were doing checks of vehicles at a Nogales port of entry, Levin said.

● On Jan. 21, Border Protection officers found less than 700 pounds of marijuana hidden in the gas tank and floor of a truck at the Dennis DeConcini Port of Entry in Nogales, Levin said.
