A judge has ordered former Hidalgo County District Clerk Omar Guerrero to be held without bond pending his trial for possession of a controlled substance.

Guerrero was on the run for 13 years after he was arrested in May 2013 on the possession charge and his bond was set at more than $1 million.

According to a federal indictment, he made bail on May 7, 2013, and later that same day, a felony warrant was issued on a charge of sexual assault of a minor. By then, Guerrero had fled to Mexico through the Harlingen port of entry.

A trial date for Guerrero's possession charge has not yet been scheduled and he was remanded to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service.
