A Riverside County man has been arrested in Mexico after he allegedly shot at a deputy during a pursuit through Jurupa Valley last year.

Federal agents said Martin Perez Jr., 31, had been using several fake identities to avoid arrest for the past year. However, after searching for him for more than a year, a federal task force tracked Perez to the state of Nayarit, along Mexico's western coast, according to the Riverside County District Attorney's Office.
