Police say a U.S. Marshals fugitive squad arrested a 21-year-old wanted for crimes in Savannah and Effingham County on Thursday.
Members of the Southeast Regional Fugitive Task Force found Jaquese Dunn in a residence in the 100 block of West 55th Street about 11:30 a.m. Thursday, said Darnisha Green, Savannah-Chatham police spokeswoman. They also found a 9-mm pistol and arrested Dunn without incident.
Dunn was wanted by Savannah-Chatham police for several incidents in 2015, including burglaries, auto-theft and narcotics-related crimes. Rincon police also had warrants for Dunn’s roles in crimes in their jurisdiction.
Southside Precinct investigators charged Dunn with one count of burglary in the second degree, one count of theft by taking (auto), one count of use of a communication device to facilitate a crime, one count of burglary in the first degree and one count of parole violation.
Several incidents, including an auto-theft from a car dealership in the 10000 block of Abercorn Street on May 15, an auto-theft near the intersection of Abercorn Street and Wilshire Boulevard on June 22 and a burglary at a residence near the intersection of Ventura Boulevard and Montclair Boulevard on July 15, were linked to Dunn, said Green.
