Investigators have arrested a man wanted for violating conditions of his parole from a Florida prison seven years ago.
“Jose Antonio Gonzales had assumed a number of different identities while he was on the run,” Lexington County Sheriff Jay Koon said. “He’s been living in West Columbia as Hector Acosta for about two years.”
Gonzales was arrested with assistance from SLED agents Monday night along Bush River Road shortly after detectives received a Crimestoppers tip from the community, according to Koon.
Gonzales is being held in the Lexington County Detention Center while he awaits full extradition to Florida.
