Alabarran appeared on “America’s Most Wanted” twice. The first time was in December 2022. Then, the show covered him in another episode on Monday, February 12, featuring the efforts of his two daughters. Within a week, the Polk County Sheriff’s Office had him in custody thanks to tips the daughters shared. The information they received led them to a house on Country Haven Drive in Lakeland, Florida. Sheriff Grady Judd praised Albarran’s daughters for coming forward and working with law enforcement to locate their father.
When police accosted Albarran, he gave them a fake name, calling himself Jose Rodriguez. According to the probable cause arrest affidavit seen by Law & Crime, law enforcement identified him as Albarran through his driver’s license photo. In addition to having a warrant out for his arrest on the abuse allegations, he reportedly owes more than $100,000 in unpaid child support.
Authorities are now holding Albarran in the Polk County Jail without bond.
