In Caguas, Puerto Rico, one of the most wanted fugitives, José Sánchez Ramos, 39, from San Lorenzo, turned himself in to authorities on Tuesday. Sánchez Ramos had an arrest warrant for violating the Domestic Violence Prevention and Intervention Act and the Weapons Act. His partner had reported that he used physical force, psychological violence, made threats, and committed marital sexual assault in April.

The arrest warrant was issued by Judge Vanessa Rozo of the Caguas Court, who ordered him to be held at the Bayamón Correctional Complex after he failed to post a $300,000 bond. Agents from the Intelligence and Arrests Division arrested him when he surrendered at the Caguas Court.
