Woman wanted on federal warrant arrested in East El Paso
EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — A woman who had a federal warrant out for her arrest led law enforcement on a short pursuit on Monday, May 19, in East El Paso, according to the El Paso County Constable's Office for Precinct 3.
The Constable's Office says a sergeant saw a 2018 Audi traveling northbound at the 1100 block of North Yarbrough that Monday and attempted to stop the vehicle for a traffic violation.
The vehicle, which was being driven by Yahima Maria Sinatra, 33, disregarded the sergeant and fled northbound.
The County Constable's Office says the vehicle came to a rest at a parking lot on the 2100 block of North Yarbrough after hitting a median.
Sinatra exited the vehicle and fled westbound across Yarbrough on foot. She was apprehended a short time later.
The County Constable's Office says a male passenger also fled from the vehicle and was not found.
Officials discovered that Sinatra had a federal warrant for harboring undocumented migrants.
Sinatra was turned over to U.S. Marshal deputies for booking.
Methamphetamine and marijuana were found inside the vehicle, the Constable's Office said.
The Constable's Office says drug charges will be added at a later date.
