Oakland, CA – U.S. Marshal Don O’Keefe is
proud to announce the arrest of Todd Stuart, a fugitive wanted for an attempted
murder in Pasco, WA.
Stuart was arrested Tuesday on the deck of the USS Hornet, which is a
de-commissioned U.S. Navy aircraft carrier which is in permanent dock in the San
Francisco harbor. The vessel is now a public museum. It is believed that Stuart
was working and living on the boat.
Stuart was wanted on attempted murder charges out of Pasco, WA. The United
States Marshals became involved after an arrest warrant had been issued,
following the alleged attempted murder of Stuart’s mother-in-law. Detectives
from the Pasco Police Department traveled to the bay area and participated in
the arrest. The Oakland Police Department also assisted during the operation.
The U.S. Marshals Service is the primary federal agency charged with conducting
fugitive investigations throughout the United States. The U.S. Marshals Service
regularly works in concert with other federal, state, and local law enforcement
agencies to seek out and arrest violent fugitives and sex offenders, and has
established task forces throughout the nation to facilitate the apprehension of
fugitives.
