York, PA - Today, U.S. Marshal Martin J. Pane announced that the United States Marshals Service (USMS) Fugitive Task Force arrested Shazmir Martino – a 20-year old man.

Allegedly, on November 8, 2015, Martino, and three other men, fled the scene of an assault that left the victim unconscious. The responding officer attempted to conduct a traffic stop of the suspect’s vehicle. The suspect failed to stop and a pursuit ensued.
