JUSTIN AGUINO

On February 26, 2020, Justin Aguino allegedly used his position as an officer with the Ohkay Owingeh Police Department in New Mexico, to impede a federal grand jury investigation by disclosing information about an ongoing investigation being conducted by Homeland Security Investigations and the Drug Enforcement Administration to an individual outside of the investigation. Then, on May 24, 2022, while working for the Pojoaque Police Department in New Mexico, Aguino was confronted by Special Agents from the FBI and Aguino falsely stated that he had not disclosed information to anyone outside of the investigation.  He was arrested for these crimes, made an initial appearance in court, and was released pending trial.  Aguino is now wanted for failing to communicate with Pretrial Services since August 26, 2024.  On September 16, 2024, a federal arrest warrant was issued for Aguino in the United States District Court, District of New Mexico, Albuquerque, New Mexico, after he was charged with Pretrial Release Violation.

Aguino has family ties to the Ohkay Owingeh Pueblo.  He may be staying in Albuquerque, New Mexico, or on the Zuni Pueblo.
