'Most wanted' fugitive caught in Cancun
One of the U.S. Marshals Service's 15 most wanted fugitives has been
captured in the Mexican beach town of Cancun after 24 years on the run.
Vincent Legrend Walters, 45, was apprehended early Friday morning and is being held on an extradition request.
Walters, who faces murder, drugs and weapons charges, hid in plain sight
and reportedly boasted he was a wanted fugitive, according to the U.S.
Marshals Office.
Walters used the alias Oscar Rivera and worked at Cancun International Airport, officials said.
Walters has been on the run since 1988 after he allegedly purchased
$20,000 worth of chemicals from undercover agents to make
methamphetamine and negotiated an additional $200,000 deal with them,
the U.S. Marshals Service said.
