Nevada Parole and Probation most wanted fugitive apprehended in Reno
One of Nevada Division of Parole and Probation’s most wanted fugitives was apprehended in the Reno area May 29 by members of the Nevada U.S. Marshals Service Pacific Southwest Regional Task Force.
Jonathan Bayne was arrested in February 2010 and convicted of possession of a controlled substance after police found heroin and cocaine on him. Bayne absconded from supervision less than a month following his release into parole in November of 2017.
He was placed on the Most Wanted list due to his lengthy criminal history with drug-related arrests for both possession and sales, according to a Nevada Department of Public Safety news release. Bayne was booked into the Washoe County Detention Center following his apprehension last week.
The Nevada USMS Task Force brings together the resources and expertise of state, local, and federal agencies in a coordinated effort to arrest dangerous and violent fugitives. The Fugitive Task Force is led by the U.S. Marshals and is comprised of Deputy U.S. Marshals, Nevada Division of Parole and Probation, investigators from the Washoe County District Attorney’s Office, U.S. Postal Inspection Service, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF).
