PHOENIX — An Arizona man who is wanted on multiple charges of sexual exploitation of a minor was captured by federal officials in northern California, it was announced this week.
Tommy Siqueiro III, 36, was arrested by U.S. Marshals in San Bruno, California, on Tuesday, ending a multi-state manhunt.
He was booked into the San Mateo County Jail before he was expected to be extradited to Apache County.
An arrest warrant was issued for Siqueiro in an Apache County court on Sept. 27 for multiple counts of child prostitution, sexual exploitation of a minor, and sexual conduct with a minor.
The warrant stemmed from multiple incidents when Siqueiro allegedly solicited sex from underage girls in Springerville, an eastern Arizona town.
His bond was set at $15 million in cash.
“Siqueiro is accused of preying on underage victims in the Springerville community and will be extradited from San Francisco to face justice,” Springerville Police Chief Mike Nuttell said in a statement.
