One of Nevada's top 10 most
wanted was arrested in Las Vegas on Wednesday by a law enforcement team.
Officials suspected 45-year-old
Morgan Lee Marshall was in Las Vegas, but finding him was a challenge because he
kept moving from residence to residence.
Marshall was arrested without
incident near Vegas Drive and Robin Street in northeast Las Vegas by members of
the U.S. Marshals Nevada Fugitive Investigative Strike Team (FIST) with
detectives from the Nevada Department of Public Safety and sex offender
apprehension unit detectives from Metro Police.
Marshall was wanted by the
Nevada Division of Parole and Probation from disappearing while on parole. In
addition to violating parole, Marshall was also booked into the Clark County
Detention Center for failing to register as a sex offender.
In 1982, Marshall was arrested
on multiple counts of sexual assault, kidnapping, robbery, battery with
substantial bodily harm and use of a deadly weapon in a crime.
He was convicted on Nov. 23,
1982 of one count of sexual assault and was sentenced to life with the
possibility of parole.
Paroled in 2003, the
5-foot-9-inch Marshall disappeared in September 2008 and was placed on the
division's most wanted list.
Nevada FIST members received a
request for help from the parole division on Jan. 13.
"We are committed to protecting our community from fugitive sex
offenders and we will continue to aggressively pursue these types of
arrests," U.S. Marshal Gary Orton said
the brothers used to run Gardnerville’s Antioch Coffee Company.
