Farmington, NM - The United States Marshals
Service in Farmington arrested Julian Marty Perea in Dulce, NM. Perea was wanted
by the State of Arizona on a Grand Jury indictment charging Perea with (Count
1): intentionally or knowingly engaged in sexual intercourse or oral sexual
contact with a victim under the age of 15 years. (Count 2): intentionally or
knowingly engaged in sexual intercourse or oral sexual contact with a victim
under the age of 15 years. (Count 3): intentionally or knowingly engaged in any
direct touching, fondling, or manipulating any part of the victim under the age
of 15. (Count 4): recklessly furnished, presented, provided, made available,
gave, lent, showed, advertised, or distributed the victim under the age of 15
Marijuana.
Investigators In Arizona believed Perea to be hiding in New Mexico possibly on
the Jicarilla Apache Indian Reservation and referred the case to the United
States Marshals Service Southwest Investigative Fugitive Team (SWIFT Task Force)
in New Mexico. SWIFT Investigators confirmed that Perea was indeed attempting to
seek refuge on the Jicarilla Reservation. SWIFT investigators worked closely
with Law Enforcement Officials of the Jicarilla Apache Criminal Prosecutors
Office and obtained state extradition approval to arrest Perea on the Jicarilla
Reservation. Perea was located and arrested on the Jicarilla Apache reservation
in Dulce, NM without incident. Perea was booked into Tierra Amarilla Rio Arriba
County Detention Center pending extradition back to Arizona.
United States Marshal for the District of New Mexico Conrad E. Candelaria
commented “in the matter of protecting children, the United States Marshals
Service will do everything within its legal authority to pursue those fugitives
that have victimized children, because these fugitives need to be held
accountable for the heinous crimes they have committed against children; our
community is safer because this dangerous fugitive is in jail awaiting
extradition back to Arizona so that justice can be served.”
