A seventh person has been arrested for their alleged role in an armed home invasion in Nogales in January.
Priscilla Coronado, 37, of Nogales, was arrested shortly before 11 a.m. Tuesday after investigators with the High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HDTA) Task force and Nogales Police Department tracked her down in Tucson near West Valencia Road and Calle Santa Cruz, NPD said in a news release.
Coronado was arrested without incident and transported in police custody to Nogales, where she was booked into the county jail on two felony charges of hindering prosecution and weapons misconduct.
NPD said Coronado is suspected of aiding a group of armed men who, while dressed in tactical gear, forced their way into a home on West Wise Street on Jan. 28 and confronted several people, including a 2-month-old infant.
Six others have already been arrested in the case: Joe Leneer Valencia, Miguel Huerta Zuniga, Armando Ruiz Valencia, Isaac Chaparro, Juan Ricardo Chaparro and Gabriel Maldonado. They were each charged with one count of first-degree burglary and five counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Ruiz Valencia was charged with an additional count of impersonating a police officer.
Coronado was on probation at the time of her arrest Tuesday, having been convicted on March 9, 2015 at Santa Cruz County Superior Court after trying to smuggle 2.5 pounds of China white heroin, 12.76 pounds of Mexican brown heroin and 15.14 pounds of cocaine into the United States. Judge Anna Montoya-Paez sentenced her to five years of probation for the conviction, including 120 days in jail.

College students using federal aid to offset tuition costs
Never autoplay videos
A private college in Arizona is charging students a fee to fund a scholarship for illegal immigrants, a controversial move supporters say gives a hand to those who need it but anti-illegal immigration advocates call irresponsible.
Prescott College is tacking a $30 annual fee onto its $28,000 annual tuition to establish an annual scholarship for "undocumented" students, as part of a policy first proposed by students and faculty from the undergraduate and Social Justice and Human Rights Master of Arts divisions. While students can opt out of paying the fee, if they do nothing it will be automatically imposed. Backers say it helps reverse what they call Arizona's reputation as a "national example of discriminatory politics."
"I am proud that our students take on the role of scholar activists," said school President John Flicker, adding that the university is committed to "broaden access to higher education for a diverse group of students" and "mobilize its resources towards social justice."
"It is beyond absurd that this college is going to force all the students to subsidize the education of a student who is in the country illegally," Vaughan
- Jessica Vaughan, Center for Immigration Studies
Supporters note that illegal immigrants are allowed to attend state and private colleges in Arizona, but in most cases cannot legally work or receive government grants or loans.
Making legal residents enrolled at the school pay for illegal immigrants' education is a slap in the face to a generation already facing its post-college years saddled with enormous debt, said Andrew Kloster, legal Fellow for the Center for Legal & Judicial Studies at Heritage Foundation.
Prescott College President John Flicker is proud his students are supporting illegal immigrant classmates.
