AMARILLO — Federal agents have arrested an Amarillo fugitive who was charged more than two years ago in an international drug trafficking case with ties to Mexico and Los Angeles.
Daniel Anthony Castro was one of 26 people charged with drug trafficking in April 2003 in a large-scale methamphetamine ring.
He was arrested last week in Fort Worth after a lengthy manhunt by Amarillo agents from the U.S. Marshal's Service. He remained in the Tarrant County Jail on Wednesday under a federal warrant out of Amarillo.
In April 2003, federal officers and Drug Enforcement Administration agents arrested 16 people in Amarillo, seizing 37 pounds of methamphetamine and about $280,000 in cash from three Amarillo homes.
Other defendants in the case, most of whom are now serving lengthy federal prison terms, were linked to a drug trafficking conspiracy to distribute 100-pound quantities of Mexican methamphetamine from Los Angeles and Phoenix to Amarillo, Hereford and Warner Robins, Ga.
