U.S. Marshals Service Nab 44 Fugitives in 2016

CONCORD, NH — More than 40 Fugitive of the Week suspects were nabbed in 2016 and the U.S. Marshals Services credits tips from readers of media outlets that share the information to the public. In a press statement this week, Deputy Marshal Jeffrey White noted that the success of the program – spanning nearly a decade – continues to grow and the number of arrests proves its success.

“Most important to this program are the endless number of tipsters that have provided a lot of valuable information that has directly resulted in the numerous successful arrests of these serious offenders,” he noted. “Thank you for all of your assistance, both big and small, to help make our communities safer for all of us.”

In 2016, 44 fugitives were caught due to this feature. While about half – 18 – were for parole or supervised release violations, 14 were for violent crimes. Another two were for firearms violations. Three sex offenders were caught and six were arrested due to drug charges. One was nabbed on a larceny rap.

The Fugitive of the Week program was first developed in 2007 after a suggestion by Peter St. James and Jim Fronk from WTPL “The Pulse.” Since that time, 364 fugitives have been caught due to tips. In 2016, the number of people caught doubled due to tips when compared to 2007 and 2010. Overall, 430 fugitives were caught this year by marshals and department team members this year.

U.S. Marshals also handle transportation and production of defendants for federal court hearings, seizure and forfeiture of assets, witness security and protection, and other programs.
