U.S. marshals are looking for a convicted burglar who they say has little regard for the judicial system, and they are asking the public for information to help bring him into custody again.
Julio Cesar Solano, 24, was arrested in May 2011 for illegal possession of a handgun in Prince George’s County while he was already on probation for a burglary conviction.

He was released but subsequently failed to appear in court for the new gun charge or the probation violation, but it doesn’t end there, said Supervisory Inspector Matt Burke, of the Capital Area Regional Fugitive Task Force.
In March, Solano was arrested in Prince George’s County but blew off his court date to answer those charges, too, Burke said. That triggered a third warrant.
“It’s seems as though he’s been given a lot of chances and consistently makes the wrong decisions,” Burke said. “We [would] like to have him back in the custody of the court before he gets a hold of another gun and makes another bad decision.”
Solano has previous arrests for armed robbery and drug possession.
Solano, who’s listed at 5-foot-8 and 143 pounds, has lived on University Boulevard in Langley Park, Greenbelt and Hyattsville.
