THE LONE STAR FUGITIVE TASK FORCE ARRESTS ANTHONY SYLVE
San
Antonio – One of the New Orleans Police Department’s “Top 20
Priority Warrants” was arrested this morning at approximately
11:30am by the Lone Star Fugitive Task Force.
Anthony Sylve was wanted for aggravated assault and drug
violations. Sylve had been living in the San Antonio area since
Katrina devastated the Gulf Coast region.
Yesterday the Lone Star Fugitive Task
Force, led by the United States Marshals Service in the Western
District of Texas, received information from the Crescent Star Task
Force, led by the United States Marshals Service in the Eastern
District of Louisiana, that Sylve had recently been arrested in the
San Antonio area for a DUI.
The Lone Star Fugitive Task Force
tracked Sylve to the Trails of West apartment complex off of Marbach
in San Antonio. Task Force members arrested Sylve without incident.
According to the fugitive, FEMA had placed him in the apartment
following the hurricane.
United States Marshal for the Western
District of Texas LaFayette Collins said, “As New Orleans continues
to recover, the Lone Star Fugitive Task Force is happy to return the
problems that Katrina blew into San Antonio."
