A man wanted for murder in Detroit who was featured on “America’s Most
Wanted” has been captured in Las Vegas.

The Nevada Fugitive Investigative Strike Team [[FIST) arrested 21-year-old
Anton Blevins, who was wanted by the Detroit Police Department for
homicide. It is alleged that Blevins had a violent encounter outside of a
nightclub in downtown Detroit during which Wayne State University
cornerback Courtney Cortez Smith was fatally shot.

U.S. Marshals developed information that Blevins fled to the Las Vegas
valley. On Tuesday, Blevins was located and arrested in the vicinity of
West Sahara Avenue and Hualapai Way. Blevins was booked into the Clark
County Detention Center pending his extradition to Michigan.

“This is yet another example of how our joint agency efforts are
apprehending fugitives who think they can hide in the Las Vegas community,”
District of Nevada U.S. Marshal Christopher Hoye said.

The Nevada FIST is a permanent task force that brings together the
resources and expertise of state, local and federal agencies in a
coordinated effort to arrest dangerous and violent fugitives. The Nevada
FIST is led by the U.S. Marshals and is comprised of law enforcement
officers from the U.S. Marshals, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police
Department, the Nevada Department of Public Safety, and the Nevada
Department of Corrections.

I also posted this on sunday in non-Detroit;

Funny thing happened to me while delivering my wife to work this last sunday morning.
I was passing by Bell Center where the Habs play and driving toward old Windsor train station when two vans, one econoline type and a minivan were driving real slow in front of me and not straight. I even honked the van directly in front of me because of the erratic driving. When I passed the two vans that both steered toward the sidewalk, I heard a loud boom and looked in the rearview to find that a whole crew of swat guys all in black uniforms had stormed the station building and a puff of smoke from whatever gun they were using was in the air.
When I returned home I read in the online news that the guy they had apprehended was an FBI most wanted for armed robberies in Virginia, Delaware etc...

Canuck, he's telling the cops he's not the guy, so maybe they should let him go?
