David W. Welker, FBI Special Agent in Charge of the New Orleans Division, and St. Tammany Parish Sheriff Jack Strain announce the arrest of John Stanton Pearson, Jr. of Covington, Louisiana.
Pearson was arrested on September 18, 2010 in Manuel Antonio, Quepos , Costa Rica
St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s Office obtained a warrant for Pearson’s arrest on September 15, 2008 on charges of sexual battery of a juvenile. The investigation led officers and agents to believe Pearson had fled the jurisdiction to avoid prosecution on these charges, and a federal fugitive warrant was issued on January 23, 2009. Further investigation in coordination with FBI Legat Panama City led the FBI to believe Pearson was in Costa Rica
Pearson will be held pending extradition to St. Tammany Parish.

Congratulations!!!!!You have caught a man that has not been arrested, tried or convicted of any crimes. However Costa Rica managed to pistol whip and shoot at Mr Pearson 7 times. Supposedly on the word of the FBI. I am a life long personally friend of Mr pearson and I can assure you this is nothing but the doings of his ex wife who is an attorney using legal status to manipulate the system and tarnish a mans name and almost get him killed!!!!
