An illegal immigrant accused of stabbing a man in Maryland while free on bond from a prior assault charge has been arrested in Prince William County (web|news), Virginia, but it's not clear how soon he can be extradited.
Unlike Montgomery County (web|news), Prince William routinely checks the immigration status of criminal suspects and the county police have informed federal immigration officials of the man's illegal status.
Montgomery County authorities say 25-year-old Milton Calderon-Melendez, of El Salvador, is an admitted member of the MS-13 gang. He's accused of conspiracy to commit attempted murder in the August stabbing, just weeks after he was released on bail for an assault on a 15-year-old boy.
