U.S. MARSHALS OPERATION TRIDENT TARGETS FUGITIVES, UNREGISTERED SEX OFFENDERS, AND MISSING CHILDREN

130 Violent fugitives arrested,
10 children recovered &
10 sex offenders taken off the streets

Cleveland, Ohio– United States Marshal Pete Elliott announces the successful conclusion of Operation TriDENT in the city of Cleveland. For 30 days, members of the U.S. Marshals led Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive Task Force (NOVFTF) increased their presence in the city of Cleveland with teams from all across northern Ohio traveling to arrest violent fugitives, seek unregistered sex offenders, and locate missing children.

Cleveland Division of Police Chief Todd stated, "Operation TriDENT reflects the dedication, professionalism, and teamwork of our officers and partner agencies. Over the past month, their tireless efforts have demonstrated a unified commitment to enhancing public safety throughout the City of Cleveland." Chief Todd continued, "On any given day, two to three coordinated teams were actively engaged across the city—a coordinated effort to achieve the operation’s mission. I’m proud of the collaboration and professionalism demonstrated throughout this operation.”

During the course of the operation, over 130 violent fugitives were arrested. Members of the task force focused on all violent crimes, including five arrests of homicide suspects, but with a special focus on those wanted for gun related crimes and felonious assault. 46 individuals were arrested for felonious assault warrants and 20 had firearms-related cases.

Additionally, eleven firearms were recovered during the 30-day operation, along with over 3,000 rounds of ammunition. Of those eleven weapons, two had been reported stolen. During the operation, members of the NOVFTF arrested individuals wanted for significantly violent offenses, such as Shon Turner, 34. Turner was wanted by the Cuyahoga Metropolitan Housing Authority Police Department for felonious assault after he pushed a 6-year-old child out of a third story window. The child sustained very serious injuries. Turner was arrested within hours of the warrant being issued.

Also arrested during the operation was Aaron Sharp, 24. Sharp was wanted by the East Cleveland Police Department (ECPD) after he allegedly shot and killed two family members and then shot and wounded two police officers. Members of the NOVFTF, ECPD, EDGE SWAT and Cuyahoga County SWAT arrested Sharp only a few blocks from the original crime scenes.

“This is a prime example of how local-federal partnerships should work and the impactful results those bring — with more than 100 fugitives arrested, thousands of rounds of ammunition recovered, and dangerous drugs removed from our streets,” said Mayor Justin M. Bibb. “Partnerships like this are strongest and most effective when coordinated in tandem with local police departments. We greatly appreciate the U.S. Marshals and will continue to collaborate with other federal law enforcement agencies who similarly operate by keeping the needs of the local communities they serve in mind.”

In addition to violent fugitives, members of the NOVFTF focused on those wanted for various sex crimes and recovering critically missing children, two more investigative missions of the U.S. Marshals Service. The operation saw ten children recovered or located by the work of the Missing Child Unit here in the city of Cleveland.

Additionally, ten fugitives were arrested for sexually oriented crimes. One of those arrests included John Armstrong, 50, who was not only wanted for rape of a juvenile by the Summit County Sheriff’s Office but also wanted by ECPD for homicide. Armstrong attempted to hide in Dayton, Ohio but members of the NOVFTF were able to locate him in an apartment there. Armstrong shot at officers when they approached the apartment. He was eventually taken into custody, and no law enforcement officers were injured.

U.S. Marshal Pete Elliott stated, “The task force partnership in the city of Cleveland is our longest standing in the entirety of northern Ohio. The NOVFTF is incredibly proud of this partnership and will continue, day in and day out, to work with law enforcement partners and community partners to keep the city of Cleveland safe and free from the clutches of criminals who intend to do it harm.”

MURDER CONVICT STACY HUGGINS ESCAPES WORK DETAIL IN HEPHZIBAH... HELP FIND HIM!

Authorities are actively searching for an inmate who walked away from his assigned work site and failed to return on Thursday evening, according to Lt. James Kelly with the Richmond County Sheriff's Office.

On September 4, at approximately 7:54 p.m., deputies responded to 601 Taylor Street, the Augusta Transitional Center, after inmate Stacy Huggins was reported missing. Huggins had reported earlier that day to his assigned work site at 4337 Wilson Road in Hephzibah. Sometime during the day, he reportedly left the location on foot in an unknown direction and never returned.

RCSO, in partnership with the Georgia Department of Corrections, has launched a search for Huggins, who was last seen in the Hephzibah area. He is serving a life sentence for a 1990 murder out of Fulton County, according to DOC records.

Lt. Kelly urges anyone with information regarding Huggins’ whereabouts to immediately contact the Richmond County Sheriff's Office at 706-821-1020 or dial 911.

Glad to know we have a law enforcement agency in middle Georgia that actually prosecutes thieves, unlike WRPD.

Awesome job! Hopefully, they will get more than a slap on the wrist this time.

I could not love this more!
