Authorities in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, have arrested Youshimatz Alegria Diaz, a 32-year-old man wanted by Interpol for homicide. The arrest occurred on Saturday (March 22) during a routine traffic stop on Route 30 East. Manheim Township police stopped Diaz for failing to use a turn signal before changing lanes.
Upon being stopped, Diaz presented a Mexican driver's license and informed officers that he had been in the United States for two years but did not possess a valid Pennsylvania driver's license. A records check revealed that Diaz had an active warrant from Interpol, the International Criminal Police Organization, for homicide.
Following the discovery of the warrant, Diaz was taken into custody and committed to Lancaster County Prison. According to Manheim Township Police, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) confirmed they would issue a detainer for Diaz.
The arrest has initiated legal proceedings, including a waiver of extradition held on Wednesday (March 26). ICE is expected to take custody of Diaz for further proceedings related to the extradition.
