A 25-year-old man who spent two weeks as a wanted fugitive in Mexico avoiding charges in the drug-induced death of two teenagers will be detained pending trial, state officials announced Friday. Elias A. Santiago-Vera, of Egg Harbor Township, was charged with two counts of strict liability for a drug-induced death and related drug offenses on March 15 before subsequently fleeing to Mexico, Attorney General Matthew J. Platkin said.
Santiago-Vera remained a fugitive until surrendering to Texas authorities on March 31, Platkin said. He was extradited to New Jersey last week and, following a hearing on Thursday before Atlantic County Superior Superior Court Judge Todd Miller, ordered detained pending trial.
