AMERICA’S MOST WANTED FUGITIVE NABBED BY U.S. MARSHALS
 
Indianapolis, IN - United States Marshal Peter M. Swaim announces the arrest of America’s Most Wanted Fugitive, Lizzette A. Garvin, on Sunday, April 29, 2007 at approximately 6:30 P.M. Garvin was profiled on the America’s Most Wanted television program on Saturday, and the leads began pouring in. Garvin is a self proclaimed con-artist from New York and has been accused of conning people for 20 years.

The fugitive allegedly is responsible for hundreds of burglaries/thefts throughout the country. Once he obtained a person’s identification documents, she would impersonate a police office and steal the victims identity. Over the years, Garvin became so cocky that she started contacting police in New York taunting them. Garvin is wanted for grand larceny, parole violation, identity theft, and probation violation. She was wanted by law enforcement in New York, California, Mississippi, Iowa, Missouri, and Pennsylvania.

The telephone leads called in to America’s Most Wanted resulted in U.S. Marshals in Indianapolis searching hotels on the west side of Indianapolis, near the airport. After several hours, Deputy Marshals located a rental vehicle with Georgia licenses at the Extended Stay America hotel. Garvin and a female acquaintance were inside the vehicle. She was arrested without incident, and was transported to the Arresting Processing Center (APC) in Indianapolis. Assisting the United States Marshals Service was the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department.
