Scores of fugitives – from the Panhandle to the
Keys – are now behind bars courtesy of a U.S. Marshals-led sweep
targeting the “worst-of-the-worst” offenders statewide.
The U.S. Marshals Service, assisted by federal, state and local law
enforcement across Florida, arrested 2,497 fugitives and cleared 2,943
warrants statewide as part of Operation Orange Crush. The results of this
ten-week operation were announced here today by Deputy Attorney General Mark
Filip, U.S. Marshals Service Director John F. Clark and U.S. Marshal
Christina Pharo of the Southern District of Florida.
