THE LONE STAR FUGITIVE TASK FORCE ARREST
ELMORE SADLER and MICHELLE SADLER

Waco, TX - On January 24, 2007, members of the Lone Star Fugitive Task Force arrested fugitives Elmore and Michelle Sadler. The married couple was wanted for federal narcotics violations out of the Western District of Texas, San Antonio Division.

Task Force members determined the Sadlers had fled the San Antonio area and traveled to Waco, TX to live with family in order to avoid apprehension. After interviewing a family member, investigators were able to arrange the safe surrender of both Elmore and Michele SADLER.

As the Sadlers were being taken into custody, Task Force members observed a vehicle leaving from the Sadlers’ residence. A felony vehicle stop was conducted which resulted in the arrest of a third individual, Koddell FOSTER. Inside the vehicle, Task Force members found a Bushmaster .223 firearm and approximately 50 lbs. of marijuana. A subsequent search warrant of the residence revealed evidence of further illegal activities. FOSTER is being charges with several State of Texas Narcotics Violations and a federal violation of being a felon in possession of a firearm.

United States Marshal for the Western District of Texas LaFayette Collins said, “The pursuit of these fugitives highlights what the Lone Star Fugitive Task Force does. We have taken a large quantity of illegal drugs off the streets. Our children are safer because of the work we do.”

Participating Agencies: Waco Police Department and the Lone Star Fugitive Task Force led by the United States Marshals Service in the Western District of Texas.
