closeRALEIGH -- Wake County sheriff’s deputies Wednesday arrested a 25-year-old man wanted in New York on more than two dozen robbery and kidnapping charges.
Sheriff’s deputies charged Jose Francisco Rosario of Raleigh with being a fugitive from justice, according to an arrest warrant filed at the Wake County Magistrate’s Office.
Federal immigration officials have also placed a retainer on Rosario, because they think he may be in the country illegally. The warrant indicates that Rosario also goes by the aliases Franky Rosario and Jose Vazquez Rosario.
