A man arrested by the Bedford County Sheriff's Office over the weekend has been charged with two counts of aggravated sexual battery.

About 5 p.m. Saturday, officers were called to the Goodwill store on U.S. 221 in Bedford County because a male customer in the store had reportedly fondled two 8-year-old girls. The victims are friends who were visiting the store with relatives.

Santos Guzman, 41, was apprehended in the parking lot.

Chief Gary Reynolds, a special assistant to the sheriff and the supervisor of Bedford's Child Sexual Offender Registration and Tracking Unit, was off duty but was in the vicinity. He placed Guzman under arrest.

Guzman, who is being held in the Blue Ridge Regional Jail without bail, told police he is a resident of Roanoke and Houston. Police said he originally is from El Salvador and has been in the United States for about five years.

Bedford County Sheriff Mike Brown said the Immigration and Customs Enforcement confirmed Sunday that Guzman is in the country illegally and that he will be deported for immigration violations and other charges, though he could not say what those charges were.

"It was certainly important enough for them to get in touch with us over the weekend," Brown remarked, adding that he was not sure how Guzman's deportation status would affect the charges against him in Bedford County.

"We will confer with the commonwealth's attorney first thing Tuesday."
