Pittsburgh Rape Suspect Arrested at Dulles Following Flight From Germany

Frazier is facing charges related to a strong arm rape investigated by the Pittsburgh Police Department. He was moved to secondary inspection where the CBP officers arrested him after confirming his identity.

Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority (MWAA) Police confirmed that there was an active warrant for Frazier and took him into custody.

“CBP officers take great pride in bringing fugitives to justice, particularly one charged with a crime as heinous as this charge alleges,” said Christopher Hess, CBP Port Director for the Port of Washington. “CBP’s capability to detect and arrest wanted fugitives is one of the unique consequences of CBP’s mission of protecting the nation at our ports of entry. We know precisely who is attempting entry to the U.S. and can vett them prior to their arrival.”

According to the MWAA police, airlines are required to submit passenger manifests to CBP prior to international flights arriving from abroad. CBP then takes that list and compares it to several law enforcement databases to identify potential threats or passengers with warrants or previous immigration violations.
