Federal Escapee Captured Within Four Hours of Escape |
At approximately 3:00 a.m. this morning, the Ohio State Highway Patrol located the suspect vehicle and conducted a traffic stop on the vehicle in Morrow County, Ohio. The Ohio State Troopers located and arrested Seagraves in the vehicle. Seagraves was transported to the Morrow County Jail to be held until return to the Northern District of Ohio. Another female was also taken into custody during the traffic stop and is being held at the Morrow County Jail pending potential federal charges of aiding an escapee. The U.S. Marshals Service and the Federal Bureau of Investigation are jointly conducting the escape investigation. Chief Deputy U.S. Marshal Roberto Robinson stated, “The prompt and effective response of the Bedford Heights City Jail staff, Deputy U.S. Marshals, Task Force Officers and the Ohio State Troopers proved to be the key component in capturing this escapee so quickly.”
