York, PA - Today, U.S. Marshal Martin J. Pane announced that
the United States Marshals Service (USMS) Fugitive Task Force arrested Victor
Garcia – a 27-year old man in Tampa, FL.
On July 5th, 2016, the York City Police Department obtained
an arrest warrant charging Garcia with aggravated assault, false imprisonment
and terroristic threats with intent to terrorize another where it is alleged
that he stabbed his victim. The victim was treated and survived the wounds. The

and apprehending Garcia.
Members of the Fugitive Task Force developed information
that Garcia fled the area and was believed to be in the Tampa, FL area. An
investigative lead was sent to Marshals based out of Tampa for assistance in
locating and arresting Garcia. Tampa Marshals located and arrested Garcia in
the 6400 block of North 20th Street in Tampa without incident. Garcia was
located hiding in a shed and was turned over to local authorities. He is
awaiting court proceedings pending extradition back to York.
United States Marshal Martin J. Pane stated, “The task force
place a high priority on fugitive cases in which the use or threat of violence
occurs. Working with our law enforcement partners ensures violent offenders are
brought to justice.”
The USMS worked jointly in this investigation with officers
from the York City Police Department, York County Sheriff’s Office, York County
District Attorney’s Office, Pennsylvania Board of Probation and Parole,
Pennsylvania State Police and U.S. Marshals out of the Tampa, FL office.
