Suspect Facing Multiple Charges Captured
San Antonio, TX - Arnold Quintero, 22, was arrested this
afternoon by members of the United States Marshals Service Lone Star Fugitive
Task Force (LSFTF), in San Antonio, TX. Multiple arrest warrants were issued
pursuant to an investigation by the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office (BCSO), where
it is alleged that Quintero committed aggravated sexual assault of a child,
injury to a child, and evading arrest.
On August 14, 2015, LSFTF officers initiated an
investigation in locating and apprehending Quintero. This afternoon, through
investigative efforts and extensive surveillance, it was determined that
Quintero was hiding out in an apartment located in the 18000 block of Babcock Road.
Task force officers entered the apartment, identified themselves, made contact
with Quintero, and took him into custody without incident.
On August 10, 2015, warrants were issued for Quintero’s
arrest following a report that was filed with the BCSO. The report alleged that
Quintero held a female child against her will in a secluded location and
sexually assaulted her multiple times while also beating her. The victim was
under 16 years of age.
Quintero 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, “My sincere thanks goes to our task force officers
for working diligently in handling this case. This was truly a violent and
despicable crime committed against this young girl. My heart and prayers go out
to her and her family for a speedy recovery.”
