Jacob Joseph Medina, sexually violent predator: You're not on the Top 50 Most Wanted list yet, but you're getting there

The Denver Police Department has been doing such a good job of rounding up criminals on its recently announced roster of fifty most-wanted fugitives -- click to see the entire mug-shot gallery -- that it's losing track of the numbers.

Yesterday, the department announced that it had captured No. 27, Mandi M. Sanchez, and No. 5, Clay Garcia-Baeza. Actually, though, Garcia-Baeza was No. 4 -- and given how hard he undoubtedly worked to hit that spot, don't shortchange him, okay? (Information about other listees captured to date is available here.)

Now, however, the DPD has put out a call for someone who didn't make the final cut: Jacob Joseph Medina, formally identified as a sexually violent predator. Get more information about him, and check out photos and details about the capture of Sanchez and Garcia-Baeza below:
