Fallon Suspect Wanted for Sex Assault of a Child Extradited from Mexico

In a press release from the U.S. Marshals Service issued today, it was announced that on January 20, 2023, the U.S. Marshals Service extradited Pascual Reyes-Muniz from Mexico City, Mexico to Fallon, Nevada.

Reyes-Muniz was wanted for Sexual Assault of A Child Under 14 and Lewdness With A Child Under 14. The victim was 6 years old. 

According to the Churchill County District Attorney, Art Mallory's office, Reyes-Muniz was arraigned in Justice Court by Judge Trotter on Monday. The Court appointed Public Defender Jacob Sommer to represent him. His case is set for a status hearing this Thursday in Justice Court. 

In 2007, a warrant was issued for Reyes-Muniz by the Justice Court of New River Township, Churchill County. Reyes-Muniz was able to elude arrest and fled to his home country of Mexico.

The Churchill County District Attorney’s Office, Fallon Police Department, U.S. Marshals Service Reno Office, U.S. Marshals Service Mexico City Office, and the Department of Justice, Office of International Affairs Office worked together to bring Reyes-Muniz back to face his charges in Nevada. District of Nevada U.S. Marshal Gary Schofield stated, “I want to thank all the agencies involved with apprehending this dangerous fugitive. This is a good example of how agencies in Northern Nevada work together to help bring justice to victims."

Nevada USMS Fugitive Task Force in Northern Nevada brings together the resources and expertise of state, local, and federal agencies in a coordinated effort to arrest dangerous and violent fugitives. The USMS Fugitive Task Force in the Northern Nevada area is comprised of Deputy U.S. Marshals, Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, Lyon County Sheriff’s Office, Nevada Attorney General’s Office, Washoe County District Attorney’s Office, Division of Investigations, Nevada Department of Corrections, Office of the Inspector General (NDOC IG), Nevada DMV Compliance and Enforcement Division, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service.

We reached out to the writer/submitter and got this info back...hope it's helpful. PBM: Pharmacy Benefit Managers are pharmacies that are owned by insurance companies. (CVS is one.) They negotiate with drug makers to get reduced pricing for medications, but they historically have not passed along those savings to patients. https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/pharmacy-benefit-managers-staff-report.pdf MFN: Most Favored Nation pricing is a policy that means a country agrees to offer the same trade concessions (like tariffs or price reductions) to all member nations of the World Trade Organization (WTO). When applied to pharmaceuticals, it could disrupt global access, deter innovation, and obscure the deeper systemic issues in American health care. https://petrieflom.law.harvard.edu/2025/05/22/the-global-risks-of-americas-most-favored-nation-drug-pricing-policy/Comment publication date: 6/23/25, 7:47 AMComment source: L E T T E R TO THE EDITOR
