U.S. marshals want the public’s help in tracking down a fugitive wanted for violating his parole after an armed robbery conviction.
Brandon Leray Morman, 24, has eluded authorities for more than a year on three separate warrants out of three different metropolitan-area jurisdictions.
Morman’s rap sheet includes arrests on armed robbery, drugs, weapons and assault charges in the District and Maryland.
Morman is considered a continued threat to the public as long as he’s on the streets, said Matthew Burke, supervisory inspector with the U.S. marshal’s Capital Area Regional Fugitive Task Force.
“He’s a regional offender, he’s got a history of violence and he’s clearly a danger,” Burke said. “He’s been out for a year and it’s time to put him back in.”
In addition to the federal warrant out of the District court in Greenbelt, Morman is also wanted in Washington and Montgomery County for failing to appear for separate trials on drug charges.
Morman is 6 feet tall and about 150 pounds. He used to live in Laurel, and is known to frequent North Capitol Street and Missouri Avenue in Northwest Washington.
Anyone with information on Morman’s whereabouts can call the U.S. Marshals Service at 301-489-1717 or 800-336-0102. Law enforcement authorities are offering a reward for information leading to his arrest.
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, Va. The unit has captured more than 19,000 wanted fugitives since its creation in 2004.
