Annandale Man Detained In Federal Case After Fairfax Charge Dropped

An Annandale man, Charlie Lazo Fuentes, is being held in federal custody following his arrest on an illegal reentry charge. The arrest occurred one day after Fairfax County prosecutors dropped a separate felony strangulation charge against him. Lazo Fuentes, who has been deported four times previously, appeared before a U.S. Magistrate Judge who ordered him detained pending further federal proceedings. The case highlights ongoing coordination between local and federal law enforcement agencies.
