THE LONE STAR FUGITIVE TASK FORCE ANNOUNCES THE ARREST OF SUSPECT
CHARGED WITH SEXUAL ASSAULT OF A CHILD
Waco
– On April 2, 2007, Juan Felan was arrested in Aransas County Texas
by the Gulf Coast Violent Offenders Task Force-Corpus Christi
Division. Felan was wanted by the Lone Star Fugitive Task Force on
multiple counts of Sexual Assault of a Child.
Lone Star Fugitive Task Force members in Waco determined that Felan
had fled Waco in an attempt to avoid being arrested and he was
tracked to a small community near Corpus Christi. This information
was forwarded to the Gulf Coast Violent Offenders Task Force and
they conducted hours of surveillance until Felan was spotted.
On Monday April 2, Felan was seen at a targeted residence and taken
in to custody. Felan will be returned to Waco in the near future to
face his charges. This is a continuing investigation.
The United States Marshal for the Western District of Texas
LaFayette Collins said, “When this fugitive made the decision to
flee, he apparently didn’t take into account who would be chasing
him.”
Participating agencies in this arrest:
- Aransas County Sheriff’s
Office
- Waco Police Department
- The United States Marshals
Service sponsored Gulf Coast Violent Offenders Task Force
and The Lone Star Fugitive Task Force
