BALTIMORE, MD — A Georgia man was taken into custody at Baltimore/Washington International Airport in Maryland this week on child molestation charges, U.S. Customs officials announced.

Daniel Coronado, 54, of Alpharetta, was arrested Tuesday after he arrived at the airport on a flight from Cancun, Mexico.

According to officials, customs officers used international passenger and cargo manifests to determine Coronado had a warrant for his arrest in Forsyth County. After verifying the warrant was still active, officers detained Coronado and took him to the Anne Arundel County Detention Facility.
