San Bernardino County Fugitive Captured
San Antonio, TX – Logan Anderson Swank, 20, was arrested
this morning by members of the United States Marshals Service Lone Star
Fugitive Task Force (LSFTF) in San Antonio, TX. An arrest warrant was issued
pursuant to an investigation by the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department
(SBCSD) Homicide Detail, where it is alleged that Swank committed homicide.
This morning, members of the LSFTF were contacted by detectives
from the SBCSD to assist in searching for Swank here in San Antonio. Members of
the LSFTF immediately initiated an investigation in locating and apprehending
Swank. Through investigative efforts, task force officers determined that Swank
was hiding out in an apartment located in the 8000 block of Midcrown Drive, on
the northeast side of San Antonio. While conducting surveillance, task force
officers observed Swank exit an apartment and walk toward the parking lot. Task
force officers approached Swank, identified themselves, and took him into
custody without incident.
On September 29, 2014, Logan Swank and another accomplice,
Wesley Swank, 28, were allegedly involved in shooting a man with a shotgun in
the 2200 block of Muni Road, in Apple Valley, CA. Reports stated that the
victim was found sitting in a car, located in the parking lot of the apartment
complex. The victim suffered from 1 gunshot wound and was pronounced dead at
the scene. After an extensive investigation by SBCSD detectives, arrest warrants
were issued yesterday for the 2 suspects involved in the shooting. Welsey Swank
was arrested last night by SBCSD Homicide Detail officers and Logan Swank
remained a fugitive at large until he was arrested this morning by LSFTF
officers.
Logan Swank is currently being held in custody at the Bexar
County Sheriff’s Office awaiting extradition to San Bernardino County.
Robert R. Almonte, United States Marshal for the Western
District of Texas, states, “Excellent collaborative efforts by the San
Bernardino Sheriff’s Department, Lone Star Fugitive Task Force, and the Pacific
Southwest Regional Fugitive Task Force for apprehending these violent fugitives
safely and without delay. I pray the victim’s family will find peace and
closure knowing that these 2 men will be held accountable for their actions.”
