U.S. Marshals Arrest Lake County Woman in Euclid, OH
Cleveland, OH – The U.S. Marshals Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive Task Force (NOVFTF) arrested Valerie Wyatt (41) earlier this morning. Wyatt was wanted by the Lake County Sheriff’s Office for a probation violation stemming from earlier burglary, kidnapping and abduction charges. The warrant was issued in October of 2024 after Wyatt failed to properly report to the Lake County Adult Probation Department. Wyatt has been on the run since.
The NOVFTF began investigating Wyatt’s whereabouts in early March of 2025 and highlighted her as “Fugitive of the Week” on March 17, 2025. The investigation led the NOVFTF to an arrest earlier today. The NOVFTF was able to find and locate Wyatt in the 100 block of Richmond Rd in Euclid, OH. Wyatt was arrested and subsequently transported to Lake County.
U.S. Marshal Pete Elliott said “We are proud of the collaborative efforts of our team and the working relationships with our state and local partners. Cases such as this highlight these partnerships, and help make our community a better, safer place.”
