SAN MIGUEL COUNTY, COLORADO - A former San Miguel County sheriff's deputy was arrested in Mexico and sent to Arizona this week, state investigators said on Friday. Police have been searching for him for three months after they allegedly found child sex abuse material at his home. He's now awaiting extradition to Colorado.
Jesus Damian Nieblas, 28, resigned from the sheriff's office in late June, before the Colorado Bureau of Investigation started its investigation, the bureau said in a statement. Police served a search warrant on Nieblas' home and vehicle in Norwood on July 10 and said they found 27 child sexual abuse videos.
Nieblas was arrested in the Mexican border town of Agua Prieta and was transferred to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service at the border checkpoint near Douglas, Arizona, according to CBI. State and local officials in Colorado learned of Nieblas' capture on Sept. 29, but weren't able to make a public statement about it until Friday.
