Fugitive Oscar Noe Alday Captured in Mexico After Three Years on the Run

Fugitive Apprehended in Mexico

Oscar Noe Alday, a fugitive who eluded authorities for over three years after escaping from the Pima County Adult Detention Complex in Tucson, Arizona, has been captured in Mexico and subsequently deported back to Tucson. His apprehension brings an end to a lengthy manhunt that began in late 2022.

Details of the 2022 Escape

Alday, who was 43 years old at the time, made his escape from the Pima County Jail on October 20, 2022, around 1:30 p.m. He managed to walk out of the facility by blending in with a group of inmates who were being released from custody. Alday had been booked into the jail just one day prior, on October 19, 2022, facing charges that included aggravated assault, domestic violence, and unlawful imprisonment.

Following his escape, Alday was reportedly seen removing his orange jumpsuit and was last observed running down an Arizona road wearing only white boxer briefs. The U.S. Marshals Service had offered a $5,000 reward for any information that would directly lead to his arrest.

Capture and Deportation

After more than three years as a fugitive, Alday was located and apprehended in Mexico. Details surrounding the exact circumstances of his capture in Mexico have not been fully released, but he was successfully deported to Tucson to face the charges against him and for his escape.
