A Honduran man questioned by police responding to a report of a suspicious person in Readington Township Tuesday, was found to be wanted for deportation, authorities said.

Officer Robert Riva responded to the call about 9:25 a.m. and found Mario Sandoval-Amaya walking a bicycle near the Readington Firehouse, according to Lt. Sebastian Donaruma, a police spokesman.

A warrant check on is identity turned up an order for deportation issued by the Bureau of Immigration and Customs Law Enforcement Center, Donaruma said.

Sandoval-Amaya, 39, of Neshanic Station, was transported back to police headquarters, processed, and then transferred to the Hunterdon County Jail in Flemington.
