El Cajon, CA–A joint operation involving the El Cajon Police Department, U.S. Marshals, and deputies from the San Diego Sheriff’s Department led to the arrest of a suspected violent fugitive at a hotel in East County on March 7, authorities said.
The operation was carried out following the issuance of a search warrant based on information that 39-year-old Andrew Martin, a resident of East County, was staying at the Clarion Pointe Hotel with his girlfriend in El Cajon.
Martin’s girlfriend had been accommodated at the hotel through a voucher provided by the Sheriff’s Department’s Homeless Outreach team. The arrest of Martin was related to a 2023 case involving felony evading and assault on a law enforcement officer. He was taken into custody and booked into the San Diego County Jail.
