The Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive Task Force released its latest most-wanted list Wednesday afternoon and had both Lorain Countians on the list in custody in just over a day.

They announced yesterday afternoon the arrest of John Wilson, 28, of Elyria, who was wanted on two counts of felonious assault involving a domestic incident on July 8 in Elyria.

Later yesterday evening, Brook Park police took in Robert Cruz, 43, of Lorain, Andrew Deserto, assistant chief deputy U.S. Marshal, said today.

Cruz was wanted on a warrant for burglary and a parole violation involving a robbery, according to Deserto.

Deserto didn’t have specifics on Cruz’s cases but said he was known to be “very violent” and had “numerous arrests involving violence.”

He said Cruz was taken into custody without incident at his uncle’s home in Brook Park, where he’d been staying.

Deserto said Cruz’s and Wilson’s arrests were directly the result of tips from the public.

“It shows the community really does care,” he said.

Since the Dangerous Dozen most-wanted list was started this summer, all seven Lorain County fugitives on the list have been taken in to custody. The list has resulted in 11 arrests total, he said.

“We’ve had a great response from the public out there,” he said of Lorain County. He said the Marshals Service is even exploring the idea of implementing a “fugitive of the week” program for Lorain County, similar to one it currently runs in the Cleveland area.

He said the next Dangerous Dozen list will be released in early September. He expects to include two more Lorain County fugitives as long as they are “good cases that meet the standard.”

“You might see some familiar faces” on the list, he added. “These really are the most wanted” people in our area, he explained.
