A man wanted for child abuse since October 2020 was found and arrested Thursday morning thanks to a tip sent to Southwest Florida Crime Stoppers.
Within hours of receiving the tip, the Citrus County Sheriff’s Office and the U.S. Marshals arrested North Fort Myers resident Bryan Vega Martinez, 29, in connection with an outstanding warrant for two counts of willful child abuse.
Vega had been on the run since Oct. 12, 2020, when he violated probation following an arrest for hitting a 14-month-old baby in the face to make it stop crying while caring for it.
