A Crescent City man suspected of unlawful sex with a minor has been arrested in Barstow, California. 

 

After an initial interview was attempted in late June with Constancio Gutierrez-Pelayo, he fled the Crescent City area. Crescent City Police Officer Pearson had worked with the Del Norte County District Attorney's Office to secure an arrest warrant for a felony violation prior to the attempted interview.

 

Officer Pearson immediately began attempting to track and locate Gutierrez-Pelayo.

 

Officer Pearson then worked with the Las Vegas Airport Police, the Barstow Police Department, and the California Highway Patrol while attempting to locate Gutierrez-Pelayo. On Friday, an Officer with the California Highway Patrol in Barstow arrested Gutierrez-Pelayo on his arrest warrant.
