MEDIA INFORMATION
January 26, 2005
U.S. Marshal for New Jersey James Plousis, Camden County Prosecutor
Vincent P. Sarubbi, New Jersey State Police Superintendent Col. Rick
Fuentes and Camden Police Chief Edwin J. Figueroa reported today that
the U.S. Marshal's New Jersey/New York Regional Task Force on Tuesday,
Jan. 25, 2005, arrested a fugitive who had been on the Top 50 Camden
Fugitives list.
Michael H. Moore, 46, was wanted on a 1998 warrant charging him with
Aggravated Sexual Assault and Endangering the Welfare of a Child.
The assaults on the 7-year-old female victim allegedly occurred in
Camden between 1991 and 1996.
Task force detectives from the Marshal's Service, Prosecutor's Office,
State Police and City Police, as well as the N.J. Department of Corrections,
under the direction of Commissioner Devon Brown, developed information
that Moore was working in Pennsylvania and tracked him to an equipment
rental business in Cheltenham, Pa. Task force officers and Cheltenham
Police arrested Moore on Tuesday afternoon at the business. Investigation
indicates Moore had been living with a relative in Philadelphia. His
last known address prior to that was in the Bromley Estates apartments
in Lindenwold, N.J. He is being held at the Montgomery County (Pa.)
Jail awaiting transfer to Camden County.
"We have identified and compiled a list of the most dangerous and
violent fugitives, and we have begun to track them down and apprehend
them," Prosecutor Sarubbi said. "The process of following leads and
locating a fugitive is very labor-intensive. All of us concerned with
public safety in Camden I appreciate the resources U.S. Marshal Plousis
is providing for this effort. I believe it will make a difference
on the street with a direct impact on residents' quality of life."
All persons charged with criminal offenses are presumed innocent unless
and until proven guilty in a court of law.
