Deputy Marshals began tracking McKelvey in January of 2004. They followed his trail from South Carolina to several states along the eastern seaboard including Pennsylvania, Florida, Georgia and North Carolina. Deputy Marshals narrowly missed apprehending McKelvey on one prior occasion in Jacksonville in April of 2006. After this close call, McKelvey is believed to have fled to North Carolina before returning to Florida where he was apprehended. In announcing the duo’s arrest, United States Marshal Johnny Mack Brown said, “We believe that one of the reasons Johnnie McKelvey was able to elude capture for so long was the assistance of friends or acquaintances. Mr. McKelvey will now face an extradition hearing in Florida and Ms. Glenn will appear in federal court to answer the allegations against her.”
