Harrisburg, PA – United States Marshal Martin J. Pane
announced today that the United States Marshals Service Task Force arrested
Mark Lee Jr., 28, of York, Pennsylvania.
On March 27, 2014, the York City Police Department responded
to a domestic incident in the 200 block of West Cottage Place. The victim
identified the suspect as Mark Lee Jr. who had fled the scene. During the
search for Lee, police determined he had an open felony drug warrant. It was
believed that Lee kidnapped the victim, and forced the victim to drive him away
from the area to avoid being arrested. Lee eventually exited the vehicle and
fled near the area of Kurtz and South Newberry Streets.
An arrest warrant was issued by Magisterial District Judge
Dwayne Dubs on March 28, charging Lee with the following offenses: Kidnapping
to facilitate a felony, kidnap to inflict injury/terror, unlawful
restraint/serious bodily injury, and harassment – course of conduct with no
legitimate purpose.
On April 22, the USMS Middle District of Pennsylvania
Fugitive Task Force began assisting the York City Police Department to locate
Lee. Earlier today, Deputy U.S. Marshals and task force officers located and
arrested Lee without incident in the 900 block West Poplar Street in York. Lee
was transported to the York Central Booking Center, pending judicial
proceedings in this case.
United States Marshal Martin J. Pane stated, “A case such as
this, where the suspect uses the innocent public to further his flight from
justice, is a high priority for the Marshals Service and its Fugitive Task
Force partners. It is my sincere hope that the victim can gain some measure of
comfort knowing that the suspect is finally off the street.”
U.S. Marshals received significant assistance from the York
City Police Department, the York County Sheriff’s Office, and the Pennsylvania
State Police. These agencies are participating members of the U.S. Marshals
Service Fugitive Task Force in the Middle District of Pennsylvania.
