Bedford Heights – Tuesday, members of the Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive Task Force, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Cleveland Division of Police, Bedford Heights Police Department and Bainbridge Police Department arrested Andre Stanton, 28, who was wanted by the Cleveland Division of Police for attempted murder.
It is alleged that on June 28th, Stanton shot his boss multiple times at a plating factory in Cleveland. From that incident an attempted murder warrant was issued and Stanton has been on the run ever since.
US Marshals task force officers tracked Stanton to an apartment building near the 24000 block of Rockside Road, Bedford Heights. While knocking at an apartment on the 5th floor, task force members standing outside witnessed Stanton leap off a 5th floor balcony onto a 4th floor balcony and broke inside. Law enforcement members later found him hiding in a cubby hole on the first floor and took him into custody with the assistance of a Bainbridge Police Department K9. Stanton sustained non-life threatening injuries and was taken to the Bedford Hospital to be evaluated.
US Marshal Pete Elliott commented “This fugitive was captured today because of the relentless efforts of multiple local and federal law enforcement agencies.”
