On Monday January 12th, Deputy U.S. Marshals and task force members arrested Tavarous Frazier, 19, on a Probation Violation Warrant from Miami, FL. This probation violation stems from original charges for Felon in Possession of a Firearm, Carrying a Concealed Firearm, Resisting Arrest and Theft.

On Tuesday, Deputy U.S. Marshals and Task Force Members arrested five fugitives in one day. The first arrest of the day was for Joe Littles,32 who was wanted by the Tallahassee Police Department for Robbery and Felony Battery with Bodily Harm.

Task Force Members were called out again after an already busy day to work the Marcus Schrenker case. As reported earlier, Schrenker was arrested late Tuesday night at a Gadsden County KOA Campground after what has been described by the U.S. Marshal Service Director John Clarke as “one of the more inventive escape attempts I have ever seen”.

Early Friday Morning, January 16th, Deputies and Task Force Members arrested Aaron Ashe, 26, who was wanted by the Leon County Sheriff’s Office on charges of Possession of a Firearm by a Convicted Felon, Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon, and Battery.
