The Great Lakes Regional Fugitive Task Force of Fort Wayne (GLRFTF) captured a Wisconsin fugitive on warrants from the United States Marshals Service - Madison; Winnebago, Richland and Adams counties in Wis.; and Kosciusko and Whitley counties in Indiana.
Anthony Fulton, 35, was arrested for charges of a federal supervised release violation, disorderly conduct, failure to register (sex offender), resisting/obstructing an officer and intimidation (stalking), according to a news release from the U.S. Marshals Service.
Following his most recent release from federal custody on July 13, 2023, in Arizona, Fulton failed to report to his supervise release officer in Madison, Wis., the release states. On Sept. 17, 2023, the Dekalb County Sheriff’s Office, Garrett Police Department and Auburn Police Department attempted to arrest Fulton in Garrett, following a tip, but Fulton managed to escape.
Tuesday, officers of the GLRFTF received information that Fulton was staying at the Days Inn Motel in Warsaw with his girlfriend. At approximately 2:45 p.m., when Fulton and his girlfriend were seen by the GLRFTF exiting the hotel and walking toward a vehicle, officers swarmed and arrested Fulton without incident.
Fulton has previous convictions of sexual battery, failure to register (sex offender), and two separate federal supervised release violations.
The U.S. Marshals Service is the federal government’s primary agency for fugitive investigations, according to the release. The USMS Great Lakes Regional Fugitive Task Force began operations in June 2003. The GLRFTF has partnership agreements with more than 104 federal, state and local agencies and operates in Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin. The GLRFTF has apprehended more than 112,000 fugitives since its inception and is always striving to make communities safer.
Anyone with information on wanted fugitives is urged to contact the nearest U.S. Marshals office, the U.S. Marshals Service Communications Center at 1-800-336-0102, or USMS Tips at www.usmarshals.gov/tips.
