SANTA ANA, CA / ACCESSWIRE / July 30, 2020 / Allied Universal®, a leading security and facility services company in North America, received a letter of appreciation from the U.S. Department of Justice's United States Marshals Service regarding the apprehension of Gerald Hunter, who was #1 on the Most Wanted list of the Drug Enforcement Administration's (DEA) St. Louis Strike Force's West Central Region due to his suspected role in the illegal trafficking of Fentanyl. Allied Universal's security team provided crucial intelligence to the U.S. Marshals which led to the successful capture of the fugitive.
An arrest warrant had been issued for Gerald Hunter, charging him with 'conspiracy to distribute and possession with intent to distribute Fentanyl' in 2017. Hunters evaded DEA agents for several years, being described by the DEA and his con-conspirators as a ‘ghost' who was proficient in separating his name from everything he touched, often being three levels removed.
In concert with information provided by Allied Universal, Gerald Hunter was recently apprehended by the U.S. Marshalls at an apartment building in Los Angeles, where Allied Universal is the security service provider. Allied Universal personnel provided the U.S. Marshals with the tactical advantage they needed, allowing them to execute their plan and successfully apprehend Hunter.
'This team represents Allied Universal's Be Phenomenal™ culture which strives for excellence and connects us closer the communities in which we serve,' said Steve Jones, Chairman & CEO of Allied Universal. 'The team's dedication and commitment to safeguarding our communities, as well as the people of our nation, is extremely honorable and courageous.'
