U.S. DISTRICT COURT -- An alleged member of a Chicago gang wanted for more than a year on charges including murder was arrested Thursday in Oswego, authorities said.

Juan Juarez, 31, was found in the 200 block of Hickory Street about 3:30 p.m. and was arraigned Friday in U.S. District Court. Juarez was indicted along with 15 other men in September 2005, accused of being a member of the Insane Deuces gang that led a racketeering enterprise, trafficked drugs and committed murders and attempted murders in Aurora in 2002 and 2003.

Fourteen of those indicted were arrested in 2005, but Juarez and Miguel Martinez, 25, eluded capture, Aurora police said. Martinez remains a fugitive, police said. Juarez is alleged to have been a "regional seat" in the organization, responsible for overseeing the factions of the gang in the suburbs, including Aurora and Elgin.

He pleaded not guilty to the charges and was ordered held without bail.
