Weld County, CO – A felony suspect wanted out of Jackson County was arrested Thursday evening in Weld County after a coordinated effort between multiple sheriff’s offices, authorities confirmed.
According to the Weld County Sheriff’s Office (WCSO), deputies were alerted earlier Thursday after the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office flagged a wanted suspect who may have been inside Weld County jurisdiction as part of its weekly “Warrant Wednesday” initiative.
The suspect, identified by authorities as Seth Hernandez, allegedly had an active felony warrant issued out of Jackson County. After receiving the information, the WCSO Strike Team located Hernandez and took him into custody later that same evening.
Officials said the arrest marks the second successful Warrant Wednesday collaboration between Weld County and Jackson County law enforcement agencies, highlighting an ongoing effort to track and apprehend wanted individuals who cross county lines.
According to the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office, Hernandez was wanted on a felony sex assault charge and was listed as eligible for nationwide extradition at the time of his arrest. Authorities emphasized that all charges are allegations and that suspects are presumed innocent until proven guilty in court.
WCSO officials credited strong inter-agency communication for the quick arrest, noting that partnerships between counties play a critical role in improving public safety across Northern Colorado, including areas near Greeley, Jackson County, and surrounding rural communities.
No injuries were reported during the arrest, and officials have not released details on when Hernandez is expected to be transported back to Jackson County.
Residents are encouraged to follow local sheriff’s offices for ongoing warrant updates and public safety alerts.
