This week’s “Most Wanted” fugitive has been on the run for two years, and U.S. marshals deputies say she could help herself by coming in.
Patricia Hill, 52, is wanted for failing to appear in court to answer charges of selling PCP. She has a criminal history dating back to the 1980s, that includes many theft and bail violations, as well as a gun charge. She has been arrested multiple times in Prince George’s and Montgomery counties and in the District.
“I can’t imagine she’s out there doing what she should be doing, [given] her lengthy criminal history and her drug history,” said Matt Burke, supervisory inspector of the Capital Area Regional Fugitive Task Force. “Bringing her in quickly will be beneficial to her and to the community she is currently staying in.”
Hill is a difficult case because she is very transient, Burke said. She has used too many alias names and dates of birth to mention.
Hill, described as 5-foot-5 and 135 pounds, has lived on Mellon Street in Southeast Washington, and on Whittier Street in Northwest Washington. She is known to frequent homeless shelters in the D.C. area.
Anyone with information about Hill can contact the task force at 301-489-1705.
Since the weekly Most Wanted feature began nearly three years ago, readers of The Washington Examiner have helped police capture 33 fugitives, including convicted murderers, kidnappers, sex offenders and con men.
Last month, readers’ tips led to the capture of a teenager accused of first-degree murder, a Jamaican man wanted on charges of possession of 20 pounds of marijuana, and a career criminal wanted for the brazen break-in of a disabled man’s home.
The Capital Area Regional Fugitive Task Force, run by the U.S. Marshals Service, is composed of 28 federal, state and local agencies from Baltimore to Norfolk. The unit has captured 33,000 wanted fugitives since its creation in 2004.
