Collaboration between the Jalisco and Zacatecas Attorney General’s Offices led to the arrest of a former municipal police officer wanted in Jalisco for extortion, bribery, and criminal association. The agencies shared strategic information to locate the suspect.

Alfredo ‘N’ was captured on June 7, 2026, in the Guadalajara Metropolitan Area, pursuant to an arrest warrant issued by the Control and Oral Trial Court of the Judicial District of Teúl de González Ortega.

The former public servant was attempting to evade justice by hiding in Jalisco, but investigators tracked him down. He was immediately handed over to the appropriate Zacatecas authorities. The investigation is seeking to determine if the detainee is linked to other crimes committed in neighboring municipalities. Inter-agency operations will continue in the state to ensure the capture of individuals with outstanding warrants.

How did the former municipal police officer operate, and what is his legal status after his arrest?

According to the investigation by authorities in Zacatecas, in 2025 the now-detained man was a municipal police officer in that region. The former officer, along with others, allegedly engaged in activities that harmed the assets of several citizens.

For this reason, state investigators opened a formal investigation against him for his probable involvement in the crimes of extortion, bribery, and criminal association. The victims filed the corresponding complaints with the public prosecutor’s office.

After his arrest was confirmed in the state capital, Alfredo ‘N’ was placed at the disposal of the court that had issued the warrant for his arrest so that his legal proceedings could continue. The judges will determine the applicable precautionary measures during the hearings.

The Jalisco State Prosecutor’s Office emphasizes that it will continue working with various agencies throughout the country to apprehend those with outstanding arrest warrants. The primary goal is to make the corresponding arrests of the fugitives.
