(Press Release) A Nevada woman wanted in Long Beach, San Bernardino and San Diego is no longer a fugitive after someone spots her photo on Facebook.

28-year-old Andrea Beavers, aka “Diamond Beavers,” is now in custody – captured shortly after 3:00 p.m. Friday afternoon near Coarsegold.

Beavers, who uses nearly a dozen aliases, was wanted on a $500,000 warrant issued out San Bernardino, $100,000 warrant out of Long Beach, $26,000 warrant out of Los Angeles County and a $10,000 warrant issued out San Diego… all warrants for prostitution.

The Madera County Sheriff’s Department was notified Friday afternoon that Beavers could be found in Coarsegold – the information surfaced when the tipster saw her picture posted on the popular social networking site.

Within half an hour of receiving that call, deputies tracked Beavers down at a home on Crystal Springs Way located in Yosemite Lakes Park.

Andrea Beavers now sits behind bars in the Madera County Department of Corrections awaiting extradition.
