Fugitive
Wanted for Impregnating 12 Year Old Arrested by U.S. Marshals Task
Force
Mary Esther, FL -The U.S.
Marshals North Florida Violent Fugitive Task Force arrested Gregory
Lynn Boyd; a fugitive wanted by authorities in Indiana for Child
Molestation and Theft. The molestation warrant stems from
allegations that Boyd, 43, impregnated a 12 year old girl in St.
Joseph County, IN. The victim, who is now 14 gave birth to the child
and it was later determined through forensic evidence that Boyd was
in fact the father. Police reports indicate that Boyd was living
with her and her family at the time the crime was allegedly
committed. The Marshals Task Force members from Okaloosa and
Escambia County Sheriff’s Offices and Ft Walton Beach Police
Department and a K-9 Unit from Okaloosa caught up with Boyd at last
night around 6:00 p.m. Boyd was arrested without incident at an
address on the 500 block of Skylark Drive in Mary Esther. Also
present during the arrest were investigators from the Okaloosa
Sheriff’s Office Sex Offender Unit, who are also Task Force members.
Although Boyd has a $50,000 bond on the sex charge and a $5,000 bond
on the theft charge, he was booked in at Okaloosa County Jail as a
fugitive from justice and will remain there until Indiana extradites
him back to St. Joseph County.
Several other wanted felons were also arrested last night by the
North Florida Violent Fugitive Task Force. Victor Dallas Thompson
Jr., 33, was arrested after he tried to flee out of a back door of a
residence located on the 700 block of Whippoorwill Lane in Destin.
Thompson is wanted in Arkansas on several no bond warrants for Grand
Theft Auto/Breaking and Entering, Receiving Stolen Property and
Possession of a Controlled Substance violating his parole. Lynn Anne
Barnes, 37, who is wanted on an Okaloosa warrant for Violation of
Probation for Resisting Arrest with Violence, Absconding and Failing
to Report while on probation; was captured at the home where she was
staying on the 400 block of Woodrow Street in Ft. Walton Beach.
Wayne Edward Grantham, 48, was apprehended with the aid of the K-9
Unit after he was found hiding in a make shift apartment in an old
warehouse 157 South Main Street in Crestview, where the Task Force
learned that he was hiding out. Grantham is wanted in Okaloosa for
Resisting Arrest Without Violence, Possession of Drug Paraphernalia
