Fugitive Arrested by U.S. Marshals After Barricading Himself in a Home in Akron

Akron, OH – Early this morning, members of the U.S. Marshals Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive Task Force (NOVFTF) arrested Larry Francis Treitinger II, 39.

A warrant was issued for Treitinger after four guns and various drugs, including cocaine, methamphetamine, and fentanyl, were recovered at a home associated with Treitinger on July 3rd.  The fugitive investigation was then turned over to the NOVFTF.

Today, members of the task force located Treitinger in a home in the 100 block of Doyle Ct. in Akron.  As task force officers were making contact with a female at the home, Treitinger barricaded himself inside the home.  The Akron Police Department’s SWAT team was called to respond to the home.  A short time later Treitinger surrendered to officers at the front of the home.  He was arrested without further incident.  

U.S. Marshal Pete Elliott stated, “Each illegal firearm taken off the streets and out of violent criminal’s hands works to ensuring a safer community in the city of Akron and all across northern Ohio.”
