A Mexican man who had disappeared after resisting treatment for tuberculosis was found and captured, officials in California yesterday.
Roses Eduardo Cruz, 25, was from an area of Mexico known for a type of treatment resistant tuberculosis. He was arrested on Monday night in Kern County, Stephen Taylor, district deputy attorney San Joaquin County reported.
Roses Cruz still can not be transferred to San Joaquin County because one must first ensure that it is free from disease and that can last for weeks, Taylor said.
Authorities last week obtained arrest warrant against Rosas Cruz, claiming that he was diagnosed with tuberculosis in March to go to San Joaquin General Hospital with a severe cough. Doctors told him to stay at a motel in Stockton and someone would go there to give the medicine, but the man fled, according to authorities.
Finally on Monday was identified to be arrested for a traffic violation in Lamont, a community about 24 kilometers (15 miles) southeast of Bakersfield, said Ray Pruitt, Kern County police spokesman.
