Cincinnati, OH - Frederick Middlebrooks
Jr. was arrested this morning in Cincinnati by the Southern Ohio Fugitive
Apprehension Strike Team (SOFAST). SOFAST is a team of law enforcement
officers led by the United States Marshals Service. Middlebrooks was
arrested at 4095 Victory Parkway in Cincinnati, Ohio, without incident.
An arrest warrant for Middlebrooks was issued in
Columbus, Ohio on February 3, 2008 for rape of a child under 13.
Middlebrooks was also charged on that same date with gross sexual
imposition. According to investigators, the offenses took place in January.
Middlebrooks will be returned to Columbus to answer to all charges.
“SOFAST made it a top priority to take this
alleged sex offender off the streets because of the danger to other
victims,” said U.S. Marshal Jim Wahlrab.
SOFAST is team comprised of law enforcement
officers from federal, state, and local agencies. The task force objective
is to seek out and arrest dangerous fugitives. Last year, U.S. Marshals task
forces arrested more than 27,000 state and local fugitives on felony
charges.
