FIST of the law finds three fugitives
Friday, April 8, 2005 | 9:39 a.m.
The Nevada Fugitive Investigative Strike Team, known as Nevada-FIST, arrested three people wanted on felony probation violations.
The strike team arrested 41-year-old Carla Baldwin, 32-year-old Kelly Mengarelli and 43-year-old Timothy Wilkerson on Thursday.
The three were tracked to a home on Winona Terrace in Henderson.
Baldwin was wanted for a probation violation from prior drug charges involving methamphetamine. Mengarelli was wanted on a probation violation from charges of possessing a stolen vehicle. All charges are considered felonies.
Officers also seized two firearms as well as a half-ounce of methamphetamine and a half-pound of marijuana.
Two stolen vehicles were also recovered.
Additional charges, in addition to the probation violations, were filed against all three people by a task force officer for the Henderson Police Department.
An on-going effort by Nevada-FIST helps remove fugitives from Las Vegas streets and reduces violent crime in the community.
The team, which brings resources and experts from state, local and federal agencies, is comprised of the U.S. Marshals Office; Metro Police; Henderson Police; North Las Vegas Police; the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF); the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration; U.S. Parole and Probation; the Nevada Division of Parole and Probation; City of Las Vegas Detention and Enforcement; the United States Secret Service; and the Nevada attorney general's office with the U.S. attorney's office.
