Convicted Drug Dealer Arrested

Joann Conception Fajardo, 43, a convicted drug dealer was arrested in California for burglary and check forgery on November 12, 2011.

Fajardo was arrested on a five-year-old warrant out of San Diego, which couldn't be acted upon until she returned to California.

She had been charged with two counts of burglary and 10 counts of forging checks, totaling of almost $6,400.

Fajardo was sentenced to 10 years in federal prison in 1994 when she was caught smuggling 130 grams of methamphetamine from Manila to Guam.

Fajardo was accused of working with another drug suspect, Bong Rivera, according to a federal indictment.

Two years later, Fajardo was found in Washington, where she was re-arrested and sentenced to another nine months in prison.

Since her second release in 2008, Fajardo has petitioned the court three times to let her move back to Washington to take care of her mother. Her third request was granted and Fajardo left for the mainland earlier this month.

She was picked up at the Los Angeles airport eight days later.

Fajardo has pleaded guilty to a single count of each crime she is now being charged with and is scheduled to be sentenced on December 1^st.
