Cleveland, OH
– Early this morning, at approximately 12:30 a.m., the U.S. Marshals Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive Task Force, with the assistance of the Trumbull County Sheriff’s Office, arrested Marco Correa, age 27, near the 100 block of Arhaven Drive in Newton Falls, OH. Correa was wanted by the Cleveland Division of Police for four counts of felonious assault. It is alleged that Correa was one of five people that were involved in an unprovoked assault at Charlie’s Place on Lorain Ave. in Cleveland that left two people unconscious, permanently blinded a waitress, and broke the jaw of an off-duty Cleveland police officer that stepped in to help the victims.
Last Friday, the Cleveland Division of Police requested assistance from the U.S. Marshals Task Force to locate Correa. Correa was previewed in local media yesterday as the "Fugitive of the Week". Within hours, tips began to pour in and information was developed that Correa was staying at a home. in Newton Falls. Deputy U.S. Marshals and Task Force Officers went to the residence earlier in the day on Monday but did not find Correa. Late Monday night investigators received a tip the Correa was back at the home on Arhaven Dr. and the Task Force quickly responded to the residence. This time Correa was located inside. He was arrested without incident and transported to the Trumbull County Jail.
U.S. Marshal Pete Elliott stated, "Once again the partnership between law enforcement, the media and the public worked together to bring this violent fugitive to justice. We are hopeful this arrest brings some peace to the victims and their families that are continuing to suffer from this horrible crime."
