U.S. marshals are looking for a Jamaican man wanted for allegedly attempting to sell large amounts of marijuana.
Garfield Mullings has been on the run since Prince George’s County police intercepted 20 pounds of pot that belonged to him five years ago, and authorities are asking readers of The Washington Examiner to help track him down.
Mullings, 35, has a limited criminal history and is believed to use false identification, which makes tracking him more difficult, said Inspector Matthew Burke of the Capital Region Area Fugitive Task Force. “He is clearly involved in a significant amount of drugs but has managed to stay off the radar. You’re probably not going to see him standing [on] a street corner selling little baggies of marijuana and he may not be using the name Garfield Mullings,” Burke said. “We need the public’s help finding Garfield. If you know the man in the picture by the name Garfield or any other name, please give us a call.”
Mullings is also wanted in Montgomery County for failing to return a rental car and in Prince George’s County for possessing a false identification card under the name Kirk Johnson.
He is a Jamaican citizen and he has been denied U.S. citizenship. Mullings is in the United States illegally, authorities said.
He is described as 5-foot-11 and 275 pounds.
Anybody with information about Mullings, can reach the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force at 301-489-1717.
Tips from readers of The Examiner have led directly to the arrests of 28 fugitives, including convicted murderers, rapists, kidnappers and scam artists.
The Capital Area Regional Fugitive Task Force, run by the U.S. Marshals Service, is composed of 30 federal, state and local agencies from Baltimore to Norfolk.
