Akron - A pair of Sex Offenders from Utah caught in Northeast Ohio.
Wednesday, the Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive Task Force, with help from the Wayne County Sheriff’s Office, arrested 38-year-olds Maigan Tatro and Caleb Steiner on federal warrants charging them with violating the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act.Both subjects had previously been convicted of sex offenses involving minors in Utah, and as convicted sex offenders they were both required to register their addresses.
In 2019 the Utah Sex Offender Registry discovered that Tatro and Steiner were not living at their registered addresses in Salt Lake City and requested U.S. Marshals assistance with the investigation.
The investigation spanned multiple states, and U.S. Marshals recently discovered that both suspects were residing together in a trailer park located in the 10000 block of Lincoln Way, outside of Orrville.Once their location was confirmed, Marshals quickly obtained arrest warrants from the U.S. District Court in Akron and took them into custody.
The Dalton Police Department and Wayne County Sheriff’s Office provided critical assistance that helped determine the subject’s whereabouts.
U.S. Marshal Pete Elliott said, “Two predators from Utah thought they could use Ohio as a safe hiding space, but there is not a home in Northern Ohio that sex offenders who prey on children can hide.Even in times of uncertainty in our communities the citizens should know that their streets are safe due to the hard work of our teams and the strong partnership with our local departments.”
