Man Wanted In A Colorado Murder Case Is Arrested In Arizona

FLAGSTAFF POLICE DEPARTMENT

Authorities say a man wanted in a Colorado murder case has been arrested in northern Arizona.

Flagstaff police say 30-year-old Kenneth Ray Bastidos was taken into custody Tuesday without incident.

They say metro narcotic agents spotted a man who matched the description of Bastidos and that led to the arrest.

Police say Bastidos was being sought in connection with a May 4 homicide at a motel in Colorado's Adams County.

They say he's being booked into the Coconino County jail on a homicide warrant.

Bastidos was involved in a vehicle pursuit with Flagstaff police and the Arizona Department of Public Safety on May 15, but he got away.

Police say the chase occurred after a woman ran into a Flagstaff hotel and reported she had been traveling with Bastidos.
