Drug Suspect Wanted for Murder, Too
One of the men arrested in last week’s heroin bust in Chautauqua County is also wanted for murder in Puerto Rico.
25 year old Johnathan Hernandez-Ruiz gave police a fake name – Jayson Rodrieguez-Irizarry -- when they originally arrested him, but now they have confirmed that Hernandez-Ruiz is wanted on an outstanding homicide charge from a December 2010 incident in Puerto Rico.
He is now awaiting extradition to Puerto Rico, according to a news release.
Hernandez-Ruiz was one of 8 people arrested following a 16-month investigation by the Southern Tier Regional Drug Task Force into a heroin trafficking ring from Ohio and Connecticut and Jamestown.
