An American national with credentials that read “CIA” has been arrested in Mexico on weapons charges, Mexican authorities said Saturday. 

An unidentified individual was detained “for his likely participation in crimes related to disturbing public order and possessing weapons designated for exclusive use by the military,” as stated by the Secretariat of Security of the State of Mexico.

Authorities found six firearms, magazines, live ammunition and tactical equipment, the agency said.

An agency spokesperson said it has no higher priority than the safety and security of U.S. citizens abroad.

‘When a U.S. citizen is detained abroad, the department works to provide consular assistance,” the spokesperson said.

Mexican authorities have not disclosed any additional details about the man’s arrest or why he was in the country. 

Fox News Digital reached out to the Central Intelligence Agency, but did not immediately hear back early Sunday.
