Calloway County, Ky.–In a joint effort by the Calloway County Sheriff’s Office, U.S. Marshals Service and the Onondage County (New York) Sheriff’s Office, a fugitive from justice was captured Monday morning in New York.
Brock Mardis is awaiting extradition back to Kentucky to face multiple felony charges in multiple counties.
Beginning in August of 2018, the Calloway County Sheriff’s Office has sought to locate and apprehend Mardis for numerous dangerous and violent offenses. Mardis has active warrants of arrest for 1st Degree Rape, 1st Degree Sexual Abuse, 1st Degree Wanton Endangerment, 1st Degree Unlawful Transaction with a Minor, 1st Degree Fleeing or Evading Police, 2nd Degree Unlawful Imprisonment, Trafficking Marijuana, Possession of Marijuana, and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia.
Mardis has also failed to appear for pending cases involving the charges of Menacing, Resisting Arrest, 3rd Degree Unlawful Transaction with a Minor, Illegal Sale of Alcohol, Selling Alcoholic Beverages to Minors, 2nd Degree Bail Jumping, and Driving Under the Influence.
During investigation, officials were made aware of a male in East Syracuse, New York believed to be Mardis. With the assistance of the United States Marshal Service’s Fugitive Task Force and the Onondaga County Sheriff’s Office, he was located early Monday morning, positively identified as Mardis and was arrested.
Calloway County Sheriff Nicky Knight said, “This three year investigation involved multiple agencies and hours of hard work. This morning’s arrest is a good example of how the partnerships we’ve cultivated over the past six years are helping keep our community safe. We’ve also added a Most Wanted section to our department’s website and it was helpful in getting the public’s assistance.”
In the course of the investigation, the Calloway County Sheriff’s Office implemented a new “Most Wanted” option on their website, www.callkyso.com. In conjunction with this new option, they named Brock Mardis as the first entry.
