Albuquerque, NM - The United States
Marshals Service in El Paso Texas arrested Juan Cruz (33) in El Paso Texas,
Tuesday June 5, 2012 on an outstanding warrant for a Failure to Appear on
Criminal Sexual Contact of a Minor. The United States Marshals added Juan M.
Cruz to the District of New Mexico’s Most Wanted list in May of 2012. In 2010,
Cruz was arrested for sexually assaulting a child. Cruz absconded shortly after
being released from custody pending the results of his trial.
Investigators assigned to the United
States Marshals Service Southwest Investigative Fugitive Team (SWIFT) Task
Force began Investigating Cruz’s case and placed him on the New Mexico’s Most
Wanted list in May. SWIFT Investigators developed information that Cruz had
fled the State of New Mexico into Texas. The case was then given to the
Marshals Service Lone Star Fugitive Task Force in El Paso. Deputies and Task
Force Officers assigned to the Lone Star Fugitive Task Force located and
arrested Cruz at family members house in El Paso, Texas. Cruz will be booked
into the El Paso County Detention Center pending extradition back to New
Mexico.
Also on June 5, 2012 Investigators with
the SWIFT Task Force arrested Frank Montano. Montano was listed on the New
Mexico Department of Corrections Top Ten Most Wanted. Montano was wanted on a
probation violation. Montano was on the DOC Top Ten due to his extensive
criminal history. Investigators with SWIFT relentlessly pursued Montano and
convinced Montano to surrender to SWIFT Task Force Officers.
United States Marshal Conrad E.
Candelaria said “the Marshals Service holds a proud tradition of success in the
pursuit and apprehension of dangerous fugitives, despite the attempts to elude
by hiding in our cities, states or countries, the Marshals Service and its many
partners in local, county, state and tribal police agencies work together to
return dangerous fugitives back to the jurisdiction where the crime was
committed to that they can be judged by a ‘jury of their peers’.”
