· KRGV (NBC 5)
Omar Guerrero, the former Hidalgo County District Clerk, was transferred to county jail after federal charges against him were dropped. A federal judge dismissed the escape charge on July 17, 2026, following a motion from prosecutors citing 'the interest of justice.' Guerrero is currently held on multiple charges, including two counts of sexual assault of a child and three counts of drug possession, with no bond listed. He had been on the run for 13 years before his arrest in Mexico in June. Guerrero fled to Mexico in 2013 after being charged with drug possession and sexual assault.
