LAS VEGAS (AP) — Federal agents say a woman sought in a parent-child abduction case in Laramie, Wyoming, has been arrested in Las Vegas with a man sought in Denver for failure to register as a sex offender.
U.S. marshals said Friday that six children ranging in ages from 8 to 14 were recovered safely.
Marshals say 33-year-old Sophia Martinez and 31-year-old Lucas Abreo were found Thursday by a multi-jurisdiction fugitive-finding team and taken into custody without incident at an address southeast of downtown Las Vegas.
Records show that both were booked into the Clark County jail in Las Vegas pending court extradition hearings.
Marshals say Martinez was accused of taking four of her children out of Wyoming without permission, and that Abreo was convicted in April of 2006 of sexual assault.
