Jail escapee captured in Mexico

SPOKANE, Wash. —

A gang member who escaped from a Sunnyside jail in 2006 has been captured in Manzanillo, Mexico.

The U.S. Marshals Service said Saturday that Aaron Lopez Garcia, 31, was arrested Friday at an ice cream factory by Colima State Police, assisted by U.S. Marshals.

Garcia and three other inmates escaped from the Sunnyside city jail in November of 2006. Garcia's accomplices were captured soon afterwards. He was in jail for illegally possessing a firearm.

Garcia is a member of the Nortenos gang with a long history of convictions, the Marshals Service said.

He has been flown back to the U.S. to face charges.
