Scranton, PA - Today, U.S. Marshal Martin J. Pane announced
the arrest of Jaquan Pankey, a 21-year-old man, on criminal attempt homicide
and other related offenses.
On November 2, 2015 the New York/New Jersey Regional
Fugitive Task Force arrested Pankey after discovering him hiding in a closet of
a Brooklyn residence in the 200 block of East 94th Street. Pankey was turned
over to local authorities pending court proceedings and extradition back to
Pennsylvania.
It is alleged that on October 8, 2015 Pankey shot and struck
his victim in a drive by shooting on North Main Avenue in Scranton.
United States Marshal Martin J. Pane stated, “Our society
must not tolerate such violence and should be committed to ensuring that
dangerous fugitives are brought before the court. We are committed to ensuring
this and it is my sincere hope this arrest brings some sense of calm to the
citizens of Scranton and the surrounding communities.”
The USMS worked jointly in this investigation with personnel
from the Scranton Police Department, New York/New Jersey Regional Fugitive Task
Force and its partners.
