arrested on March 15 on a warrant charging him with a gang related stabbing
in Massachusetts back in September of 2008. At the time of his arrest on
March 15, he was found with a handgun in his possession. The Florida
Regional Task Force received information on Thursday that Albert may be
hiding in the Pensacola area from U.S. Marshals in Rhode Island. The
Marshals here in Pensacola quickly found where Albert was hiding out. The
Task Force conducted surveillance and eventually saw Albert inside of a home
on Creighton Road. At about midnight on Thursday, the Marshals and officers

until authorities from Massachusetts will bring him back to Boston to face
the original charges and the new escape charge as well. This evening the Task Force and officers from Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office caught up with David Erin Nelson at his home in Crestview, FL.
