An allegedly armed and dangerous fugitive wanted for arson, domestic violence and criminal threats may be hiding out under a different name or even dressed as a woman, officials say.
San Diego County Crime Stoppers is working with other agencies to arrest Daniel Juarez Martinez, 33, on a felony warrant.
Martinez is accused of attacking and threatening his wife in February, later setting fire to their Bonita home. He then fled to Mexico in March, law enforcement officials believe.
However, they think Martinez has since returned to the San Diego area, possibly to connections in the South Bay. He is also tied to people in the Glendale area of Los Angeles County.
Authorities say Martinez is addicted to narcotics and is armed.
He was last seen driving a black 2010 Toyota Camry with California license plate 6KHS540, officials say.

Authorities say Martinez has used a number of aliases like “Daniel Catavarrias” and “Daniel Juarez” and is known to dress like a woman.
