Sheriff's deputies in Galveston County have cleared 16 felony warrants as part of a countywide sweep assisted by United States Marshals.

Among those apprehended was David Mora, of Santa Fe, Texas, who had been wanted by police for more than a year.

In 2014, Mora was stopped for a traffic violation, but then slipped from police and managed to elude capture until now by assuming his brother's name and date of birth, according to the Galveston County Sheriff's Office.

He is now charged with evading arrest with a motor vehicle, possession of marijuana, unlawfully carrying a weapon, two counts of escape from custody and failure to identify as a fugitive.

An addition subject was located already in custody in the Harris County; there he'll remain until he is cleared of charges in Harris County and transferred to Galveston County.
