FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE FOR INFORMATION CONTACT: December 04, 2007 Nelson Hackmaster, Supervisory Deputy U.S. Marshal Waco Division (254) 750-1570   The Lone Star Fugitive Task Force Arrests Fugitive Charged with Aggravated Robbery   Waco, TX - Today the United States Marshals Service sponsored Lone Star Fugitive Task Force (LSFTF) arrested 23 year old Kamari Harp. Harp was wanted by the Temple Police Department for the felony charge of Aggravated Robbery. An arrest warrant was issued for Harp after an incident on November 20, 2007 in which Harp allegedly robbed a Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant in Temple Texas using a sawed-off shotgun. During this robbery, Harp is accused of placing the shotgun to the chest of one of the employees present and then fleeing with $1,700.00 cash. Harp learned of the arrest warrant being issued and went on the run. The LSFTF was then contacted for assistance by the Temple Police Department after investigative leads led to the Waco area. After several days of intense investigative efforts, the LSFTF developed information Monday, December 03, 2007 that Harp had an associate employed at the Providence Hospital in Waco TX. As Deputy U.S. Marshals concluded the interview of the associate at his place of employment and were leaving, Harp was observed sitting in a car at the entrance to the hospital. As officers approached the fugitive, Harp briefly fled in the vehicle before hitting a curb. He then abandoned the vehicle and fled on foot, leading officers in a foot pursuit throughout the hospital complex. At approximately 4:00 pm, Deputy U.S. Marshals found Harp hiding in the basement of the facility and he was placed under arrest without further incident. The United States Marshal for the Western District of Texas LaFayette Collins said, “Our tremendous success in bringing fugitives such as Kamari Harp to justice is due to the dedication, teamwork, and spirit of cooperation between our fugitive task force member agencies.” PARTICIPATING AGENCIES IN THIS ARREST: Temple Police Department Waco Police Department United States Marshals Service
