Marshals Nab Suspect Wanted Since 1999, Three Other Escambia Fugitives
March 12, 2014
On Tuesday, U.S. Marshals Florida Regional Fugitive Task Force arrested a 1988 sexual offense suspect in Santa Rosa County and busted three other wanted felons in Escambia County.
A Milton man who was wanted on a 1999 warrant issued 11 years after the alleged crime took place in Michigan was among the arrests.
U.S. Marshals in Michigan were able to determine that James Curtis White, who is wanted by the Michigan State Police for criminal sexual conduct on a victim less than 13 years of age, was most likely living in Santa Rosa County. The Marshals Task Force in Pensacola confirmed that White, who just turned 54 this weekend, was living in a home on the 3200 Block of Electra Drive in the Avalon Beach area of Milton.
U.S. Marshals and task force officers from Santa Rosa and Walton County arrested White without incident at his home. Although the alleged misconduct took place over a period believed to be about 5 months sometime in 1988 in Lansing, MI, the warrant wasn’t issued until 1999. In addition, extradition was limited and only recently was it changed broadening the scope to include Florida. White will remain in custody in Santa Rosa until his extradition to Michigan.
In Escambia County, marshals and task force members from the Escambia, Santa Rosa, Okaloosa and Walton County Sheriff’s offices arrested 27-year old Reginald Tyrone Carter after he was found hiding in a closet under a pile of clothes in an apartment inside a complex located at the 800 block of Fletcher Drive. Carter was then taken into custody without incident. Carter was wanted by Escambia County for violating his probation which he was serving for possession of cocaine with intent to distribute.
The task force struck again arresting Mitchell Xavier Wills after they had to break his door down. When the task force entered the apartment, Wills was holding a baby in his arms at which time he was ordered to give the child over to officers then was handcuffed and arrested. Wills, 24, had a federal warrant for violating his probation.
And Tuesday afternoon, marshals finished their day when they captured Christopher Diego Baldwin in a house on the 1200 Block of Capital Boulevard in the Wedgewood community. Baldwin, 22, has been eluding authorities since January and was recently added to the task force’s top wanted Escambia County fugitives. Baldwin has warrants for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and a felon in possession of a handgun and improper exhibition of a firearm. Baldwin was found hiding in the backroom of the duplex he was reportedly living in.
