| Indicted Trotwood Ohio Shooter Captured |
|
Dayton, OH – James M. Wahlrab, United
States Marshal for the Southern District of Ohio, announces the arrest of
indicted Trotwood Ohio Shooter Michael Carr. An indictment had been returned
against Carr by the Montgomery County Common Pleas Court on four counts of
Felonious Assault, two counts of having weapons under disability, and
illegal possession of a firearm in liquor permit premises. Carr was indicted
after he was allegedly involved in a bar shooting at LEOS bar located on
Salem Avenue in Trotwood, that seriously injured three people. Two of the
three had multiple gunshot wounds. Through investigative leads developed by
the Southern District of Ohio Fugitive Strike team (SOFAST) Carr was tracked
the Still Water Apartment Complex in Harrison Township and arrested without
incident. At approximately 6:20 this morning, (01/12/09) deputies from the SOFAST team arrived at the apartment complex expecting to surprise Carr. However Carr refused to open the door. Only when the deputy marshals and task force officers began to force entry did Carr comply and opened up the door, surrendering to the task force. The SOFAST Team recovered two loaded semiautomatic hand guns in the apartment. It has not yet been determined if either of the two guns were used in the July 18th shooting. According to Marshal Wahlrab additional federal charges may be pursued. Marshal Wahlrab stated as he has in the past “The apprehension of persons wanted for shooting innocent people is a priority for the task force and anyone wanted for this type of a violation will become a priority for our arrest teams.” SOFAST in the Miami Valley area is comprised of the following federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies: United States Marshals Service, U.S. Attorney’s office, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, U.S. Department of Agriculture, OIG, Ohio Adult Parole Authority, Clark County Sheriffs Office, Darke County Sheriffs Office, Preble County Sheriffs Office, Dayton police Department, German Township Police Department, Germantown Police Department, Greenville Police Department, Miamisburg Police Department, Moraine Police Department, New Lebanon Police Department, Perry Township Police Department, Springfield Police Department, and the Trotwood Police Department. The U.S. Marshals Service is Americas first federal law enforcement agency and each year arrest more fugitives than all other federal law enforcement agencies combined.
