The OFTF received information Friday morning from the U.S. Marshals Service in Orlando, Florida who were assisting the Lake County Sheriff’s Office in attempting to locate Baggett and recover her four month-old daughter. The OFTF members were advised that Baggett had taken her daughter from the Florida Department of Children and Families Custody Center (FDCFC) on October 29th, 2008 against a court order issued by a local judge. The abduction of the baby was posted on the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) website.

The OFTF moved into the Lloyd Center Mall in an undercover capacity and soon spotted Baggett and the child and then made the arrest and recovery without incident. The baby girl was sheltered by the Marshals until custody was transferred to the Oregon Department of Human Services.

Baggett was arrested based on the Florida charge, Removing A Minor From The State, Contrary To A Court Order. Baggett has a history of assault arrests and cruelty towards children. Baggett was booked into Multnomah County Detention Center on the Florida felony warrant. Please contact Multnomah County Jail for booking photo.

The U.S. Marshals Oregon Fugitive Task Force is comprised of investigators from the U.S. Marshals Service, Washington County Sheriff’s Office, Portland Police Bureau, Oregon State Police, Multnomah County Probation & Parole, Clackamas County Probation & Parole, and the Oregon National Guard.
