Authorities believe the suspect in a string of butt-slashing attacks at Fairfax County malls has fled to Peru.
Fairfax County police issued a warrant for Johnny D. Guillen Pimentel’s arrest in September, but haven’t been able to track him down. Investigators learned a few weeks ago that he was in Peru, police spokeswoman Lucy Caldwell said Wednesday.
She said he has not been taken into custody and it wasn’t entirely clear what would happen next.
“Certainly, we will be in contact with Peruvian officials,” Caldwell said.
Nine cutting incidents were reported at Fairfax County stores between February and July. Young women in their teens and early 20s reported that someone used a box cutter or razor to cut their buttocks.
