Scranton, PA – Today, United States Marshal Martin J. Pane

In September and October of 2020, multiple police agencies
throughout Wyoming County filed charges against Carpenter for Burglary,

Resisting Arrest and Failure to Appear. And - on October 13, 2020 - the

him.
Today, at about 12:00 p.m., members of the task force and

in Nicholson and learned that Carpenter fled into a nearby wooded area
moments prior to their arrival. Task force members and troopers searched
the wooded area and found Carpenter hiding in a hunter’s blind. He was
turned over to Wyoming County law enforcement officers.
United
States Marshal Pane stated, “It’s the Marshals Services’ duty to ensure
that those charged with serious crimes have their day in court. It is my
sincere hope that the affected communities will find some measure of
comfort knowing this suspect will face justice.”
