Harrisburg, PA – United States Marshal Martin J. Pane announced today that
the U.S. Marshals Service (USMS) arrested 26-year old Deneke L. Williams in
York Pennsylvania.
From September of 2006 through December of 2007, Williams was arrested on
three (3) occasions in Dauphin County. She was charged by the Harrisburg
Bureau of Police with the following offenses:
- One count of Robbery
- One count of Carrying Firearms without License
- One count of Possession of a Firearm with an altered serial number
- One count of Manufacture/Delivery/Possession of a controlled substance
- One count of Use/Possession with intent to use drug paraphernalia
- One count of Receiving Stolen Property
On the three cases, Ms. Williams was released on bail, pending disposition
of the charges.
In early 2009, based upon Williams’ failure to appear for court on the
various criminal cases, three (3) bench warrants were issued in Dauphin
County.
In December of 2008, the United States Secret Service in Harrisburg obtained
a federal arrest warrant against Williams. She was charged with Attempting
to Pass Counterfeit Currency.
Within the past few days, the Dauphin County District Attorney’s Office
requested the assistance of the United States Marshals Service Fugitive Task
Force in the Middle District of Pennsylvania (M/PA) to locate and apprehend
this multi-jurisdiction fugitive. U.S. Marshals based in Harrisburg
developed information which indicated Williams may have fled to the York
area.
On February 27, USMS personnel arrested Williams near the intersection of N.
West Street and Linden Avenue in York, Pennsylvania. The fugitive was taken
into custody without incident. She was turned over to the Dauphin County
Prison on the outstanding county warrants. A federal detainer was lodged
based upon the counterfeiting-related charge.
United States Marshal Martin J. Pane stated, “One of the U.S. Marshals
Service Fugitive Task Force
purposes is to apprehend offenders who jump bond and fail to face their
accusers. In this case, it has been four years coming. I am very pleased
with the speed in which the fugitive unit apprehended Williams once
assistance was requested.”
U.S. Marshals were assisted by personnel from the York City Police
Department, York County Sheriff’s Department, Pennsylvania State Police,
Pennsylvania Board of Probation and Parole, Lower Paxton Police Department,
and the Dauphin County Adult Probation Office. These agencies are
participating members of the USMS M/PA Fugitive Task Force.
The concept of all USMS-led fugitive task forces is to seek out and arrest
the nation’s most dangerous offenders.
