Jerry Idrogo, 33, of San Antonio is accused of killing Julian Pesina, a police officer in Balcones Heights, Texas. The suspect is being held in the Lucas County jail pending extradition. Toledo police Sgt. Joe Heffernan said the department received a call from San Antonio police early Friday saying they had been in communication with the suspect, who agreed to turn himself in to police.
