A man on metro Denver’s 25 Most Wanted list was arrested this week in a small town in New Mexico.
Craig Anthony Rodriguez, 30, was taken into custody in Mora by the local sheriff and two U.S. marshals from Albuquerque.
Rodriguez was wanted on outstanding warrants for assault with a deadly weapon, drugs and parole violation. He has a lengthy arrest and criminal record in Colorado and has served time in prison here.
Mora County Sheriff Thomas Garza said Rodriguez was living with his pregnant 18-year-old girlfriend and his stepfather in a duplex in Mora, a ranching and farming community of about 8,000.
After the surrender, the sheriff questioned the girlfriend and stepfather, but they were not arrested.
Rodriguez was being held at the San Miguel County Jail awaiting extradition to Colorado.
