Early Friday morning, Horizon City Police apprehended a fugitive, Eduardo Morales, wanted on several charges, including aggravated assault. The 28-year-old had been sought out by authorities, carrying multiple active warrants issued by the El Paso County Sheriff's Office. Morales was located and safely detained by officers on the 14000 block of Sabio Drive, as detailed by the Horizon City Police Department.
The arrest was executed seamlessly, with no further incidents reported during the capture of Morales. At approximately 12:14 a.m., police acted on a tip-off regarding his whereabouts, the details of which surfaced on the police department's official social media channels.
