The Lone Star Fugitive Task Force
Announces the Arrest of Angela Jaime,
Girlfriend of 15 Most Wanted David
Sauceda |
|
When Homicide Suspect and Mexican Mafia Gang Member
David Sauceda
escaped from the Bexar County Jail on October 28, 2007, he quickly
linked up with his girlfriend Angela Jaime and her two young boys
ages 3 and 4.
The fugitive couple began their life on the run by fleeing to
Mexico. Members of the Lone Star Fugitive Task Force quickly got on
their trail. Once information was developed that placed Jaime and
Sauceda in Mexico, the United States Marshals Service's Mexico City
Field Office was notified. Marshals Service Inspectors assigned to
Mexico City paired with their Mexican Counterparts and requested
their assistance in arresting Jaime and Sauceda.
On Saturday January 26, 2008, David Sauceda was arrested near his
residence in Mexico but Angela Jaime was not present. On Sunday
January 27, 2008, contact was made between USMS and Mexican
authorities and Angela Jaime was directed to self-surrender at the
Port of Entry in Laredo, Texas.
On Tuesday, January 29, 2008 at approximately 11:30 a.m., Angela
Jaime was arrested by United States Marshals Service personnel from
the Laredo Office at the Port of Entry in Laredo. Jaime will be
brought back to Bexar County today to answer her charges.
Angela's two children are temporarily in the custody of Child
Protective Services in Laredo and will soon be reunited with their
grandmother.
The United States Marshal for the Western District of Texas
LaFayette Collins said, “The arrest of Angela Jaime caps the end of
the escape and flight of Jaime and David Sauceda. Let this be a
message to those that choose to run; you can run for awhile and live
in constant fear of being captured or you can just do your time and
be done with it. If you decide to run, the law enforcement community
will not only arrest you, but all those that aided you.”
