Joint East Texas Fugitive Task Force
Arrests Parole Violator
Charged with Injury to a Child |
|
|
Charles Don Brawdy, a Parole Violator
with charges pending for Injury to a Child, was arrested by Deputy
U.S. Marshals with the Joint East Texas Fugitive Task Force at
approximately 8:30 am on Thursday, July 26th. After an intense
manhunt, Brawdy was located at a residence off Highway 56 in
Southmayd. He was arrested without incident and booked into the
Grayson County Jail. Brawdy violated his parole by allegedly
physically assaulting a two-year old Denison girl that was left in
his care. The Grayson County Attorney’s Office anticipates an
Indictment in the Injury to a Child case.
Annually, investigations carried out by the U.S. Marshals result in
the apprehension of approximately 34,000 federal fugitives. More
federal fugitives are arrested by Marshals than all other federal
agencies combined.
The Joint East Texas Fugitive Apprehension Task Force is a team
comprised of law enforcement officers from 56 law enforcement
agencies in the East Texas area. The task force objective is to seek
out and arrest federal, state, and local fugitives, mainly those
with violent criminal histories to include sex offenders. Last year,
U.S. Marshals task forces arrested more than 27,000 state and local
fugitives on felony charges.
