Fugitive presumed to be hiding in Arizona caught in Mexico, FBI says

David Young was wanted for drug charges in Georgia.

ARIZONA, USA — FBI agents have recently apprehended a fugitive in Mexico who is wanted for drug charges.

David D. Young was presumed to possibly be in Arizona since he has ties to the Phoenix area, the FBI said.

Young is tied to the Ghost Face Gangsters criminal street gang, which operates in the southeastern United States, according to authorities. A warrant for Young's arrest was issued in December 2022.

The FBI said Young was captured in Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico on March 9.
