“It is not a coincidence that these fugitives were all arrested in this short time frame. The U.S. Marshals Service, working alongside their fellow law enforcement officers, diligently and relentlessly investigate until they capture their man or woman and bring them to justice. These arrests are merely a result of that ongoing effort and our collective commitment to making the community a safer place.” stated Don O’Keefe, U.S. Marshal for the Northern District of California.
