Fugitive Arrested After Fleeing for 5 Years

A Utah man who was on the run from law enforcement for more than five years was arrested by U.S. Marshals on Wednesday afternoon.

Saigais Rekash Hallchand, 34, was wanted for intent to distribute controlled substances and possessing a firearm during a drug offense. He was discovered by Deputy U.S. Marshals who were conducting surveillance in La Mesa after they received information that Hallchand was in the area.

Officials found more than 100 fake identification documents and credit cards in Hallchand’s possession.

He was arrested without incident and is currently pending extradition to Utah.
