Jean Milice

Jean Milice, 31, of Somers Point, was taken into custody by U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents Thursday at a business in Champlain, N.Y. and turned over to New York State Police, Pleasantville police said.

Milice, who faces aggravated sexual assault and other charges, will be extradited back to Atlantic County.

The sexual assault allegedly took place around 11 p.m. July 24 at a residence on Falcon Drive in Pleasantville.

While investigating, Pleasantville police got a tip that Milice was in upstate New York and contacted authorities there.

There is a border crossing station in Champlain.
