On September 9th and 10th, 2008, the Lakewood Police Department and the U.S. Marshals Violent Fugitive Task Force conducted a joint operation to arrest those in Lakewood who are wanted on outstanding felony warrants. A total of eight wanted felons were arrested during the sweep. These felons were either wanted on outstanding Lakewood warrants or were residing in Lakewood on warrants from other jurisdictions.
As an example of the efforts of the joint operation officers arrested a Burl Dillion on charges of Breaking and Entering. Dillion had been listed on the Lakewood Police Department Web site at HYPERLINK "http://www.onelakewood.com" www.onelakewood.com as one of its Most Wanted. Dillion has been charged with breaking into a local business during the spring and is a suspect in other similar crimes in other communities.
According to Chief Timothy J. Malley, “We have conducted several operations with the U.S. Marshals Office and believe the combination of our resources, directed towards those that violate our laws, helps keep Lakewood a safe and viable community.â€
Mayor Ed FitzGerald remarked, “I appreciate the hard work of the Lakewood Police Department and the U.S. Marshals Violent Fugitive Task Force, under the direction of Marshal Pete Elliot, to arrest those that commit crimes and make it known that Lakewood is not a welcome community for them to reside in.â€
The Lakewood Police Department currently has Investigator Brian Berardi assigned to the Violent Fugitive Task Force and looks to work with the U.S. Marshal on future operations.
