Alexandria, VA – U.S. Marshal Robert Mathieson announces the
capture of William Wyatt Raum. Raum was wanted by the Fairfax County Sheriff’s
Office (FCSO) in connection with a bomb threat communicated earlier this month.
On Oct. 29, the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center
received a bomb threat from an unknown suspect. On Nov. 4, the FCSO requested
their deputy sheriff assigned to the U.S. Marshals Service’s fugitive task
force to investigate the threat. The investigation determined Raum as the
alleged offender.
The case was adopted by the U.S. Marshals task force located
within the federal Eastern District of Virginia. At approximately 6:00 a.m. on
Monday, Nov. 18, task force officers and Deputy U.S. Marshals located and
apprehended Raum in an apartment complex located on Marlboro Pike in Capitol
Heights, MD. Raum was transported to the Prince George’s County Police
Department and is awaiting extradition to Fairfax County.
The U.S. Marshals-led fugitive task force within E/VA is
made possible by the collaboration of the U.S. Marshals Service, Federal Bureau
of Investigation, U.S. Secret Service, Alexandria Police Department, Virginia
State Police, Fairfax County Police Department, Fairfax County Sheriff's
Department, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and the Diplomatic Security
Service.
The task force within the Metropolitan D.C. area was founded
in 2004 and, to date, has arrested tens of thousands of fugitives. The success
of the task force directly correlates to it being a truly joint endeavor. Each
agency brings its unique skills and expertise toward the common goal of
pursuing and arresting the worst of the worst.
The U.S. Marshals Service arrested more than 36,000 federal
fugitives, 86,700 state and local fugitives, and 11,800 sex offenders in fiscal
year 2013. Our investigative network and capabilities allow for the unique
ability to track and apprehend any fugitive who attempts to evade police
capture, anywhere in the country.
