HIGHLIGHT ARREST

MAURICE VOLLEY       KIDNAPPING & HOMICIDE       VIRGINIA

Maurice Levar Volley, a Henrico County, Virginia Police Department Ten Most Wanted fugitive, was wanted or his involvement in the 2001 abduction, kidnapping and execution-style murder of a male victim. Volley and four co-defendants abducted the victim, drove him to a rural area in Henrico County, Virginia, tied him to a tree and shot him multiple times, resulting in his death. All four co-defendants were quickly identified, arrested, convicted, and sentenced to terms of imprisonment of 40 years or more. Volley was later charged but has evaded capture for over 18 months. Volley is also a suspect in a Richmond homicide and a person of interest in several other Richmond area shootings. He has been arrested on nine previous occasions in Richmond for firearms, drug trafficking and assault.

On April 4, 2005, Richmond and Henrico County Police Departments requested the assistance of the local Operation FALCON team in locating and arresting Volley. On April 8, 2005, FALCON team members arrested Volley at a residence in Richmond. Seized from the residence were approximately four ounces of crack cocaine, $4,000.00 in U.S. currency and a quantity of marijuana.
