U.S. Marshals Arrest Maryland Fugitive at Martinsburg Hotel

Roberto Hernandez-Segouia, 47, was arrested July 16, 2026, in the parking lot of the Fairfield Inn in Martinsburg, according to the U.S. Marshals Service.

The arrest involved a fugitive task force and stemmed from a case in Montgomery County, Maryland. The Marshals Service said Hernandez-Segouia was wanted there on allegations including second-degree rape, child abuse by a parent, and child abuse or molestation of a child.

Maryland case led to Martinsburg arrest

The Maryland allegations remain claims made by authorities. The available announcement does not establish the outcome of the underlying case, and Hernandez-Segouia should not be considered convicted based on the arrest or the charges listed in the release.

After the Martinsburg arrest, Hernandez-Segouia was charged as a fugitive from justice. That designation reflects the warrant-related process tied to the Maryland case rather than a finding that the Maryland allegations have been proven in court.

The U.S. Marshals Service said authorities expected Hernandez-Segouia to be extradited to Maryland. That wording describes an anticipated transfer; the available sources do not confirm that extradition had been completed as of the announcement or establish when it would occur.

What is confirmed

The confirmed local details are the arrest date, the Fairfield Inn parking-lot location, the identity of the person named in the official announcement, and the connection to Montgomery County, Maryland. Panhandle News Network independently reported the Martinsburg arrest and the expected extradition status.

For Martinsburg readers, the case is a report of a federal fugitive arrest at a local hotel. The available information does not document a broader public-safety effect in Martinsburg or provide additional details about the Maryland case beyond the allegations listed by authorities.

Further court or corrections records would be needed to confirm whether Hernandez-Segouia was transferred to Maryland and to establish the next steps in the underlying case.
