The headline should have been "Illegal that wanted a better life was arrested for nothing"
This rag of a paper needs to be stopped.


BARTLESVILLE -- Local police officers early Friday arrested a fugitive at a Bartlesville hotel who is wanted in a Texas murder case.

The U.S. Marshal's Office had tracked Juan Manuel Garcia, a 28-year-old Mexican national, to Bartlesville, where he was believed to be hiding in a hotel room in the 2300 block of Washington Boulevard.

Garcia is the prime suspect in the Jan. 1 stabbing death of Ismael Aruajo, who was killed in Sequin during an argument over family matters, according to police.

Bartlesville police department's special operations team went to the hotel after Manuel and arrested him after using a "flash band," a device that produces a bright light and loud sound to temporarily stun a subject, Bartlesville Police Chief Tom Holland said.

The search for Garcia involved U.S. Marshals, Texas Rangers, Lone Star Fugitive Task Force and Guadalupe County Sheriff's Office.

Garcia is being held in Washington County until the U.S. Marshal's Office can transfer him to Texas.
