EL PASO - The Sheriff's Office SWAT team arrested a wanted fugitive who was found hiding under a bed Thursday night.

Deputies say they were tipped off that Willie Lozoya was driving a stolen car so they did a stakeout at a house in 3700 block of Breckenridge. That's where he was believed to be staying. We're told during the surveillance, deputies spotted the stolen car so a search/arrest warrant was issued and the SWAT team moved in. Deputies say Lozoya was found hiding under a bed, and was arrested with no problems.

Lozoya's brother, Patrick Lozoya, was also arrested after deputies say he told them he had marijuana in his room.
