When approached by an FHP trooper, Alejandro initially provided a false name but quickly revealed his true identity. A routine check revealed that he was wanted by the Dallas Police Department for a murder that occurred on July 4th. Further investigation uncovered two additional warrants for child sex contact and possession with intent to promote child pornography.
Alejandro was arrested and transported to the Collier County Jail, where he awaits extradition to Texas to face these serious charges.
