Suspect Facing Assault Charges Captured
San Antonio, TX - Ricardo Bautista, 36, was arrested this
afternoon by members of the United States Marshals Service Lone Star Fugitive
Task Force (LSFTF) and San Antonio Police Department’s Repeat Offender Program
(ROP) Unit in San Antonio, TX. An arrest warrant was issued pursuant to an
investigation by the San Antonio Police Department, where it is alleged that
Bautista committed continuous violence against family and aggravated assault
with a deadly weapon.
Yesterday, members of the LSFTF initiated an investigation
in locating and apprehending Bautista. This afternoon, through investigative
efforts, extensive surveillance, and critical assistance from the SAPD ROP
Unit, it was determined that Bautista was hiding out at in trailer located in
the 6400 block of HWY 87 East in China Grove, TX. Task force and ROP Unit
officers entered the trailer, identified themselves, made contact with Bautista,
and took him into custody without incident.
On July 30, 2015, a warrant was issued for Bautista’s arrest
after he allegedly struck a female acquaintance with his car in the 1200 block
of Castroville Road. After an investigation conducted by SAPD detectives, it
was determined that Bautista intended to cause serious injury or death to the
victim.
Bautista 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, states, “Our task force and SAPD ROP Unit officers did an
exceptional job tracking down this violent fugitive who obviously had no regard
for human life. I’m glad we were able to finally get him off the streets before
he could potentially bring harm to someone else.”
