Ex-El Paso County Judge Anthony Cobos arrested again, accused of fraud in New Mexico
Former El Paso County Judge Anthony Cobos was arrested at his home this morning on two counts of fraud out of New Mexico, the U.S. Marshals Service announced.
Details were not immediately available. Cobos was arrested at his El Paso home by federal marshals from El Paso and New Mexico, as well as members of the Dona Ana County Sheriff's Office.

Cobos pleaded guilty last year to federal corruption charges stemming from his time as the county's top elected official.
U.S. District Judge Frank Montalvo sentenced him to four years in prison on Jan. 3, and Cobos was scheduled to surrender to the federal prison system Feb. 11.
