Fugitive Facing Aggravated Robbery Charge
San Antonio, TX – Jonathan Prado, 18, was arrested this
morning by members of the United States Marshals Service Lone Star Fugitive
Task Force (LSFTF) in San Antonio, TX. An arrest warrant was issued pursuant to
an investigation by the San Antonio Police Department (SAPD), where it is
alleged that Prado committed aggravated robbery.
Yesterday, members of the LSFTF initiated an investigation
in locating and apprehending Prado. Through investigative efforts, task force
officers determined that Prado was hiding out at a house in the 7300 block of
Westville Drive, on the northwest side of San Antonio. Task force officers
conducted a brief surveillance and approached the house. Task force officers
entered the house, identified themselves, and found Prado hiding under a bed in
a back bedroom. Task force officers ordered Prado from under the bed and took
him into custody without incident.
On December 17, 2014, Prado and Luis Castillo, 19, allegedly
robbed a man at gunpoint as he walked down the street. Reports stated that
Prado and Castillo drove their vehicle toward a man in the 4500 block of
Crystal Hill. Prado and Castillo exited the vehicle, displayed a handgun, and
ordered the man to give them his wallet. After taking the man’s wallet, Prado
and Castillo retreated to the vehicle and drove away. After a thorough
investigation by the SAPD, arrest warrants were issued on January 5, 2015 for
both suspects. Castillo was subsequently arrested by members of the LSFTF on
January 13, 2015. Prado remained a fugitive until he was arrested by task force
officers this morning.
Prado is currently being held in custody at the Bexar County
Sheriff’s Office.
Robert R. Almonte, United States Marshal for the Western
District of Texas, stated, “Another job well done by members of the LSFTF and
more importantly no one was injured during the apprehension of these fugitives.
Taking another robbery suspect off the streets means that people can sleep a
little easier at night.”
