Felons Arrested

Bullhead City ( Ariz) – January 5, 2012 – Bullhead City Police and G.I.I.T.E.M. (Gang Immigration Intelligence Team Enforcement Mission) arrested two wanted felons who have been evading police for over one year.

     On Tuesday, January 3^rd, police received information on the whereabouts of fugitive Christopher Eddieberto Lua, 22.  At approximately 9 p.m., police conducted a traffic stop in the area of Highway 95 and the Bullhead Parkway South. Both the driver Chris Lua and passenger Autumn Dawn Foraker, 19, were arrested on outstanding felony warrants.

     Police found a small amount of marijuana and marijuana rolling papers in Lua’s pocket. A search of the vehicle revealed a loaded .22 caliber handgun in a diaper bag, which belonged to Lua who is a prohibited possessor.

     The couple’s two young children who were in the vehicle at the time of the traffic stop were turned over to CPS custody.

     Lua was arrested on outstanding warrants stemming from a home invasion and an attempted murder in 2010.

     In June, 2010, Christopher Lua, his brother, 25-year-old Gustavo Lua Jr., and their father, 52-year-old Gustavo Lua Sr., went inside a residence in the 900 block of Riverfront Drive and physically assaulted a man after restraining him with duct tape. The victim’s 14-year-old nephew, who had a knife held to his throat, was also assaulted. Chris Lua's co-conspirators were arrested and received six and five year prison sentences for their part of the home invasion.

     The attempted homicide warrant stems from an August 2010 shooting at the AM/PM in Mohave Valley where Chris Lua shot two victims multiple times during a gang related fight. The arrest warrant on Foraker stems from her hindering the prosecution of Lua by misleading law enforcement about critical facts surrounding the shooting.

     Chris Lua was arrested on outstanding felony warrants for attempted homicide, aggravated assault, burglary and kidnapping, and participating in a criminal street gang, possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia and prohibited possessor.

     Foraker was wanted on an outstanding felony warrant for hindering prosecution and assisting a criminal street gang.

     The Luas are South Side Boyz street gang members.

     Police are still searching for Chris Lua’s cousin, 25-year-old Adalberto Lua Jr., who has an outstanding felony warrant for first degree murder in connection with a homicide that occurred in December 2007, where a 20-year-old male was found stabbed to death in a street near Gold Rush and Ramar Roads. Mohave Silent Witness is offering a $1,000 reward for any information that leads to the arrest of Al Lua.

     Anyone with any information on his whereabouts can contact the Bullhead City Police Department at (928) 763-9200. Or, text keyword BHCTIPS, followed by an anonymous tip to 847411 (Tip411).
