EPPD: Drunk Driver lied about identity; wanted by US Marshals

A man accused of driving drunk lied about his identity to police officers, who later learned he is a fugitive wanted by the US Marshals Service.

Julio Cesar Alcala, 38, was arrested at 12:34 a.m. on February 13, 2019 and charged with DWI.

Police said Alcala was driving a 2016 Chevrolet Camaro when he almost struck an electricity pole, then struck a raised curb on the 200 block of Walnut.

Officers met with Alcala and realized he was intoxicated, police said. Once in custody, Alcala provided officers with a Chihuahua driver’s license with a different name.

Police said an investigation revealed Alcala’s true identity and that he had outstanding warrants for Assault, Obstruction or Retaliation, and a warrant from the US Marshals.

Alcala was booked into the El Paso County Jail on the outstanding warrants, DWI and Failure to Identify as a Fugitive from Justice. His bonds totaled $22,750.
