A Pennsylvania man listed among the ten most wanted fugitives in Ponce, Puerto Rico has been taken into custody and charged for narcotics offenses in Camden, announced Camden County Prosecutor Grace C. MacAulay.
Domitilo Delgado-Ruiz, 50, of Reading, Pennsylvania is charged with first-degree Possession with Intent to Distribute a Controlled Dangerous Substance and third-degree Possession of a Controlled Dangerous Substance.
In February 2026, detectives from the Camden County Prosecutor’s Office High-Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) Task Force received information that a suspect driving a Toyota minivan was in possession of a large quantity of cocaine in the area of Penn Street and North Sixth Street in Camden. The suspect’s minivan was determined to be registered to an address in Reading, Pennsylvania.
Detectives from multiple agencies coordinated surveillance of the suspect’s minivan in both Pennsylvania and New Jersey, leading to a vehicle stop in Camden on February 27, 2026. At that time, detectives identified Delgado-Ruiz as the driver and learned that he was wanted by authorities in Puerto Rico as a fugitive from justice in reference to an attempted murder case. He was taken into custody and remanded to the Camden County Correctional Facility, pending extradition to Puerto Rico. Detectives later searched the minivan and located more than 12 ounces of suspected cocaine, leading to the aforementioned narcotics charges.
“We commend the outstanding work of our law enforcement partners whose diligence and coordination led to the arrest of a fugitive wanted in Puerto Rico,” said Prosecutor MacAulay. “Through persistent surveillance and teamwork across jurisdictions, detectives successfully apprehended a suspected narcotics trafficker and removed a significant quantity of drugs from our streets. Their dedication and commitment to public safety continue to make our communities safer.”
The Camden County Prosecutor’s Office HIDTA Task Force was assisted in the investigation by the Camden County Sheriff’s Office, Berlin Township Police Department, Berks County District Attorney’s Office, and Reading Police Department.
All individuals charged with crimes are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
