| U.S. Marshals Update on Schrenker Case |
|
Washington – Fugitive Marcus Schrenker
remains in the Tallahassee Memorial Hospital this morning receiving
treatment for what appears to have been self-inflicted wounds to the wrist
and forearm of his left arm. He is still under the custody of U.S. Marshals
at this time. Schrenker was discovered approximately 10:00 p.m. last evening
in a tent at the KOA campground near Quincy, Fla., in Gadsden County. Schrenker was administered first aid by the law enforcement personnel on scene. A Life Flight helicopter was directed into the campground for transportation of Schrenker to the hospital. Schrenker’s apprehension came just several hours after the U.S. Marshals in the Southern District of Indiana were handed a pair of warrants for his arrest. A coordinated effort by U.S. Marshals in Indiana, Alabama and Florida led task force, plus state and local authorities to the campground. “I want to thank and congratulate all of the law enforcement personnel who worked so diligently to find Marcus Schrenker. His apprehension brings to an end one of the more inventive escape attempts I have ever seen,” said Director John F. Clark of the U.S. Marshals Service. “Just as important is the fact that once our people found Schrenker, and realized what bad shape he was in, they were every bit as determined to save his life as they were to track him down.” Marshals Service personnel involved in the search and apprehension of Schrenker are available for on-camera or phone interviews to discuss the case.
