FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE FOR INFORMATION CONTACT: September 02, 2008 William Taylor, Supervisory Deputy U.S. Marshal Southern District of Ohio (937) 225-2917   Convicted Child Rapist Apprehended in Ohio   James M. Wahlrab, United States Marshal for the Southern District of Ohio, announces the arrest of Alfred William Cash. Cash was wanted by the Delaware County Sheriff’s Office in Muncie, Indiana for failure to register as a sex offender. Cash, now age 50, was convicted at the age of 32 for rape of a 12 year old girl in Oklahoma County, Oklahoma and has a lifetime registration obligation. Cash received a 20 year sentence but only served 8 years in the custody of the Oklahoma Department of Corrections. Upon his release from prison in 1998, Cash moved to Muncie, Indiana. In July 2007, Cash failed to notify Indiana authorities of his current residence and his whereabouts became unknown. In November 2007, Indiana authorities issued an arrest warrant for Cash but were unable to determine his exact location. Federal authorities began investigating Cash in early August 2008 after receiving a tip that Cash was residing in the Dayton, Ohio area. At the end of August 2008, the Dayton Police Department started receiving complaints about a man living in an apartment on Riverside Drive. The complainants stated that a man named Alfred Cash had exposed himself to several occupants. On September 2, 2008, Deputy U.S. Marshals, along with task force officers from the Southern Ohio Fugitive Apprehension Strike Team (SOFAST) investigated the Dayton Police tip and located Cash at 727 W. Riverview Dr in Dayton, Ohio. Cash was arrested on the outstanding Indiana warrant and charges were filed in federal court for violations of the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act (SORNA), more commonly referred to as the Adam Walsh Act. The Adam Walsh Act was passed into law in July 2006 and makes it a federal crime for unregistered sex offenders to travel in interstate commerce. The U.S. Marshals Service was America’s first federal law enforcement agency and each year arrests more fugitives than all other federal law enforcement agencies combined.
