U.S. Marshals Task Force in Pensacola Capture Alabama Man Wanted for Kidnapping
The U.S. Marshals Florida Regional Fugitive Task Force in Pensacola arrested a man wanted from Dallas County, AL on charges of Kidnapping in the 1st Degree. James Frank Carter was arrested at a house on the 1400 Block of Dexter Avenue in Pensacola around 10:30 this morning. Carter, 51, is charged with one count of kidnapping on the warrant that dates back to April of 2007. The U.S. Marshals Gulf Coast Fugitive Task Force in Mobile first requested assistance from the Pensacola Task Force in August of this summer but leads went stale. However both Task Forces kept their investigations open and then a few weeks ago Carter popped back up on the radar in Pensacola. Since then the Florida Regional Fugitive Task Force has been conducting hours of surveillance until this morning when it finally paid off.
