HIGHLIGHT ARREST
MARCEL BALDWIN SEX OFFENSE/CHILD GEORGIA
On April 7, 2005, Marcel Baldwin, one of Atlanta’s Ten Most Wanted
Fugitives, was arrested by Operation FALCON members as he hid in the
makeshift cellar of a home in Atlanta, Georgia. BALDWIN, 21, who was wanted
by the Atlanta Police Department for assault and sexual offense against a
child, has prior arrests for arson and distribution of controlled
substances. He had been placed on Atlanta’s Ten Most Wanted list in December
2004.
FALCON members developed information that Baldwin had been residing in a
home in Atlanta and operating a crack cocaine distribution hole. The home
was heavily fortified and it took FALCON members approximately a half hour
to gain entry. Once inside, members determined that Baldwin was hiding in a
hand-dug cellar that was accessed through a trap door in the kitchen. As
FALCON members moved in, Baldwin threw a fully loaded Tec-9 submachine gun
to the floor and surrendered without further incident. |
