COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- Police arrested Miguel Lopez-Fuentes, the man wanted for an armed robbery in Castle Rock, Friday afternoon.

The El Paso County Sheriff's Office, Crime Reduction Unit (CRU), and the Colorado Springs Police Department assisted the Front Range Task Force, Fugitive Location and Apprehension Group (FLAG) to locate and arrest Fuentes.

Officials located Fuentes in front of Summit Creek Apartments in Colorado Springs carrying a window air conditioning unit, which he threw at police and took off running.

Deputies quickly pursued him and arrested him after a brief struggle. He has additional charges of resisting arrest, criminal mischief, second degree assault on a peace officer and criminal attempt disarming a peace officer. He has no bond for the warrant out of Douglas County and a $200,000 bond for his new charges.

Fuentes is also in the U.S. illegally and has an international warrant for murder out of Mexico.
