On January 6, 2012, shortly after noon, SOFAST received a tip that Carver could
be located at a residence on South Torrence Street in Dayton, OH. After
confirming the information, the SOFAST members quickly arrived on South Torrence
Street and apprehend Carver. By approximately 12:45pm he was in handcuffs and on
his way to the Montgomery County Jail in Dayton.
Carver is believed to have been living in the Dayton area since shortly after
the warrants in South Carolina were issued for his arrest. Carver was arrested
without incident and awaits extradition to South Carolina. At the time of his
arrest, Carver remarked that he was tired of running and had originally moved to
Dayton to hide after throwing a dart at a map. U.S. Marshal Cathy Jones said,
“this arrest is a perfect example of how quickly our task force can react and
apprehend those found hiding in the Dayton area.”
SOFAST in the Miami Valley area is comprised of the following federal, state,
and local law enforcement agencies: United States Marshals Service, U.S.
Attorney’s Office, Ohio Adult Parole Authority, Miami County Sheriff’s Office,
