CINCINNATI -- A man who police believe might be in the country illegally from Guatemala allegedly blew kisses at and offered a 10-year-old girl cash to come with him.

It's a story you saw first on 9News.

Cincinnati Police arrested 28-year-old Laureano Mendez-Reynoso around 11 Sunday night.  Police say he twice tried to lure a girl; once on Saturday night, and another time on Sunday night.  The last alleged attempt led to his arrest.

Police say the incidents happened on Underwood Place in Price Hill.

Mendez-Reynoso allegedly blew kisses at the girl, offered her cash, and beckoned her to come with him to the back of a building.  He also exposed himself to the girl, cops say.

He is charged with two counts of criminal child enticement, which are misdemeanors.  He is also facing a misdemeanor count of public indecency.

Mendez-Reynoso has a Price Hill address, but cops say he is from Guatemala.  Immigration officials have been notified about his capture.
