An American fugitive has been arrested by agents of the Bureau of Immigration (BI) in Jordan, Guimaras.
Boyd Monte Murray, 64, was reportedly found in possession of several identification cards bearing different names, according to Rendel Ryan Sy, chief of the BI fugitive search unit.
Murray reportedly failed to present a valid passport or immigration documents. He was arrested in Barangay Rizal on Sept. 30, with the help of the Philippine Navy.
The arrest stemmed from information provided by the United States embassy that Murray has a pending arrest warrant for theft issued by the King County Superior Court in Seattle, Washington in December 1994.
The suspect is reportedly facing multiple charges in several US states, including possession of stolen vehicles, larceny and other felony offenses. His US passport has reportedly been revoked by the US Department of State.
The BI is reviewing Murray’s record of stay in the Philippines after complaints from the community and posts on social media revealed the suspect’s alleged criminal history, including prior convictions for fraud, theft and burglary.
The suspect allegedly engaged in repulsive online behavior, including posting lewd remarks on social media accounts of underage girls.
