The FBI is offering a reward of up to $5,000 for the arrest
and conviction of Cecil Vijil, Jr., wanted in connection with an assault on a
federal officer. The San Juan County Sheriff’s Office is offering a $1,000
reward.
On April 30, 2020, an FBI special agent and a San Juan
County Sheriff’s deputy went to Vijil’s home near Aneth, Utah, on the Navajo
Nation, as part of an investigation into another crime. That’s when Vijil
allegedly fired multiple rounds at the special agent and deputy. No one was
injured.
Vijil has been charged with Assault on a Federal Officer and
Discharging a Firearm During and in Relation to a Crime of Violence. A warrant
has been issued for his arrest.
Vijil is considered armed and dangerous. Anyone with
information on his whereabouts should call 911, their local law enforcement
agency, or the FBI at (801) 579-1400.
The San Juan County Sheriff’s Office, the Navajo Police
Department, and the Utah Department of Public Safety are assisting in the
investigation.
