From the LaPlata Co. Sheriff's Office:

Mark Redwine was booked into the La Plata County Jail at 4:56 p.m. Monday following extradition from Whatcom County, Washington. La Plata County Sheriff’s Office personnel took custody of Redwine on Monday morning, and returned to Durango via chartered aircraft. Redwine was arrested in Bellingham, Wash. On July 22 in connection with the November 2012 murder of 13-year-old Dylan Redwine.

Redwine works as a long-haul trucker and the La Plata County Sheriff’s Office coordinated with the U.S. Marshals, Washington State Police and Bellingham Police to locate and arrest Redwine following the indictment and warrant. He has been held in Whatcom County Jail pending extradition since his July arrest.

Generally, defendants are advised the next business day after booking. Judge Jeffrey Wilson will advise Redwine of the charges he is facing at the La Plata County Courthouse, 1060 E. 2^nd Ave. in Durango. Details on the advisement will be released as soon as possible. The Sixth Judicial District Attorney’s Office will prosecute Redwine’s case.
