PENSACOLA, FL -The U.S. Marshals North
Florida Violent Fugitive Task Force apprehended an Escambia County
man early this morning that is wanted in connection with an
attempted homicide in Pensacola.
At approximately 6:45 am the Marshals
Task Force caught up with Willie Clarence Williams Jr., at home on
the 1600 Block of Acorn Lane. The 35 year old Williams was also

Task Force Officers from Okaloosa and

under a bed in the home. While searching for Williams, Task Force
Officers identified another wanted fugitive inside the residence,
Pamela Snider Shepherd, 52, who is wanted for violating her
probation in Okaloosa County.
Snyder first told deputies that her
name was “Pamela Johnson” and that she had just arrived there last
night from Little Rock, Arkansas. Snyder then changed her story that
she was “Pam Martin” and that she had been in town for about two
weeks. Eventually she confessed that she was really Pam Shepherd.
Shepherd whose violation stems from a charge of Possession of a
Prescription Narcotic by Fraud, was also charged in Escambia with

Another man who tried to escape out
of a back door was identified but had no outstanding warrants for
his arrest. It was unknown why he tried to flee.
About an hour later, the Task Force and police officers from the
Pensacola Police Department arrested Calvin Alexander Harris at home
on the 200 Block of East Cross Street in the city. Harris, 33, is
wanted on a federal warrant in Fargo, North Dakota for violating his
federal probation. All three were booked into the Escambia County
Jail. Harris will be brought before a Federal Magistrate Judge for
an initial appearance before being extradited back to North Dakota.
