TIJUANA, Mexico (AP) - Mexican police caught a prison official who spent a year on the run from charges of killing a 19-year-old inmate, whose beating death sparked riots that left nearly two dozen dead, including two American prisoners.
Marco Antonio Ibarra, the chief guard at Tijuana's La Mesa State Penitentiary, was arrested in the northern city of Culiacan, where he was born and had been hiding for a year, said Martha Almaza, deputy attorney general for Baja California state.
Ibarra was brought to Tijuana on Friday and paraded before reporters. Authorities did not say when he was arrested.
