EL PASO, Texas (KFOX14/CBS4) — A 28-year-old wanted man arrested after leading local police in a pursuit into Anthony, New Mexico, has been extradited to El Paso.
According to jail records, Miguel Angel Anchondo was booked into the El Paso County Downtown jail on Sunday, where he was charged with evading arrest/detention with a vehicle.
This after Anchondo allegedly fled from police after they tried to pull him over at the 700 block of Sunland Park Drive, near The Shoppes at Solana in West El Paso on Friday.
The New Mexico State Police said Anchondo was being sought because he had a warrant for his arrest, but did not specify the charges.
However, jail records show he was also booked on another “evading arrest/detention with a vehicle” dated March 30.
