BEVERLY — Chief John G. LeLacheur reports that the Beverly Police Department located and arrested a New Jersey man on a warrant for attempted murder in that state.
ANDREW ARIAS-PEGUERO, AGE 54, OF FORT LEE, NEW JERSEY, was arrested and charged with:
- Fugitive From Justice
On Tuesday, March 25, at about 6 p.m., the Beverly Police Department was contacted by Fort Lee, New Jersey Police, who reported they were seeking ARIAS-PEGUERO on a felony warrant charging attempted murder. Fort Lee Police reported that ARIAS-PEGUERO was wanted for stabbing and threatening to kill someone, and that he was believed to be in the area of north Beverly.
Beverly Police located ARIAS-PEGUERO and his vehicle in the area a short time later.
ARIAS-PEGUERO was taken into custody on four warrants out of Lynn District Court and charged as a Fugitive from Justice due to the New Jersey warrant.
ARIAS-PEGUERO was arraigned Wednesday in Salem District Court. Fort Lee Police were notified of his arrest.
“I’m proud of our officer’s quick and effective response when we were asked for help by a fellow law enforcement agency,” said Chief LeLacheur. “Acting on information from Fort Lee Police, we were able to take a dangerous individual off of our streets.”
These are allegations. All suspects are innocent until proven guilty.
