Suspect apprehended in Los Angeles and returned to Okanogan

BRIDGEPORT – Douglas County Sheriff Harvey Gjesdal reported that a suspect wanted in connection with a threat and firearms incident at the Bridgeport school was apprehended in Los Angeles and returned to Okanogan County last month.
A Douglas County Deputy and a Chelan County Correctional Officer flew to Los Angeles on Dec. 20 to pick up 25-year-old Armondo Morales-Cervantes of Bridgeport from the Los Angeles County Jail, Gjesdal said. Morales-Cervantes was flown back and booked at the Okanogan County Jail without any incident. 
“Morales-Cervantes had been arrested at the Bridgeport School on Oct. 19, 2017, for making threats to kill and for bringing a firearm onto the school grounds,” Gjesdal said in his report.
Morales-Cervantes had been released and a subsequent arrest warrant had been issued, said Gjesdal. The suspect “had been on the lam for about four months before being picked up by LAPD officers on a nationwide non-extraditable warrant,” Gjesdal said.
