A woman wanted by Interpol on murder charges was arrested in Splendora, Texas, a small town of less than 2,000 people in southeastern Texas.
Leo Acosta Sanchez, who was known to travel between Splendora and her home in Terrenos, was taken into custody during a traffic stop on May 24. Police say she was illegally residing in the country and was known to travel between Splendora and her home in Terrenos. Splendora police and the Department of Homeland Security arrested Sanchez.
The Splendora Police Department commends the swift and effective collaboration with federal partners in ensuring the apprehension of this dangerous individual. Interpol often sends red notices to law enforcement officials to find and arrest someone pending extradition to local offices.
Last week, Interpol issued a red notice for an author and her teen son after they allegedly fled to the US from Turkey after a fatal car crash in Istanbul.
