CRESCENT STAR FUGITIVE TASK FORCE ARRESTS NOPD
AGGRAVATED RAPE SUSPECT ON WESTBANK
The U.S. Marshals
Eastern District of Louisiana (EDLA) Crescent Star Fugitive Task
Force (CSFTF) with assistance from the New Orleans Police Department
(NOPD) arrested Kenneth Mosley, 40 years old, at a residence in the
400 block of Bruce Ave. Terrytown, LA. Mosley was wanted by the NOPD
on a warrant charging him with two counts of aggravated rape. He was
also wanted by the U.S. Marshals EDLA on a warrant for violation of
his federal supervised release on a 2002 federal conviction for
felon in possession of a firearm. He was featured several weeks ago
in the Metropolitan Crime Commission’s “Wanted by the Law” feature
in the New Orleans Times- Picayune.
The NOPD aggravated rape warrant, which was issued on Aug. 28, 2007,
involves an alleged incident in 2006 in which a fifteen year old
female family acquaintance was raped in the back of a vehicle.
Mosley has a lengthy criminal history in the New Orleans metro area.
Investigators from CSFTF worked with the New Orleans Police
Department and developed leads on where Mosley might be hiding. He
was arrested without incident and booked into the Orleans Parish
Prison on the aggravated rape warrant and a federal detainer was
lodged on Mosley for the supervised release warrant.
CSFTF is now operating with additional assets supplied by the U.S.
Department of Justice, due to the post Hurricane Katrina crime
spike. The task force is sponsored by the U.S. Marshals Service EDLA
and includes officers/agents from the NOPD, Orleans Parish Criminal
Sheriff’s Office, St. Charles Parish Sheriff’s Office, Louisiana
Probation and Parole, St. Bernard Parish Sheriff’s Office, Jefferson
Parish Sheriff’s Office, Bogalusa Police Department, U.S. Coast
Guard Investigative Services, U.S. Border Patrol, Bureau of
Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and the Social Security Office
of Inspector General. Since the task force’s inception in 1999 it
has closed nearly 5500 fugitive investigations. Many of these
offenders were wanted for violent or sexual offenses. |
