MENASHA, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — One of Chicago’s most-wanted men was arrested in Menasha.
It began when the FBI Chicago Violent Crime Fugitive Task Force alerted the Menasha Police Department that a 23-year-old Illinois man wanted for first-degree murder in Cook County might be in the Menasha area. The suspect was ranked on Chicago’s “Top 10 Fugitives” list.
In the early morning hours Wednesday, Menasha police officers located the man in the 800 block of Plank Road and apprehended him without incident. He was booked at the Winnebago County Jail on outstanding warrants.
“Public safety is always our top priority. When we received this information, our officers immediately began planning for a safe arrest. I commend their excellent work in protecting our community and removing this dangerous individual,” said Menasha Police Chief Nick Thorn in a news release. “This arrest is a reminder of how important cooperation is in law enforcement. No single agency can do this work alone. I am proud of the way our officers worked side by side with our local and federal partners to bring this case to a safe resolution.
