Sioux City, IA - Wednesday afternoon at approximately
3:00p.m., Armando Garcia, a 27 year old male was arrested by members of the
Northern Iowa Fugitive Task Force in Sioux City, Iowa. Garcia was wanted on a
warrant for Aggravated Criminal Sexual Abuse that was issued in 2006 out of Cook
County, Illinois. Garcia is also accused of violating his bond by failing to
appear in court.
The U.S. Marshal Service & Woodbury County Sheriff's
Office had received information from Illinois officials, that Garcia had been
living in Sioux City under a false identity. A joint investigation between the
two agencies revealed that Garcia was living and working in the Sioux City area
under the assumed name of Luis Nava.
Deputy United States Marshals caught up to Garcia at Action
Auto Repair in Sioux City, where he was employed. This arrest puts an end to
Garcia’s 9 year stretch on the run. Fingerprints compared to Garcia’s prior
arrest confirmed suspicions that Garcia and Nava was the same person. Garcia is
currently in the Woodbury County Jail awaiting extradition back to Illinois.
U.S. Marshal Fugitive Task Forces are comprised of federal,
state and local officers working together to locate dangerous fugitives and
bring justice to communities around the world. The U.S. Marshal Service is the
federal government’s primary agency for fugitive investigations.
