A Florida man wanted on multiple sex offenses by the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office was arrested in Savannah by the United States Marshals Service Southeast Regional Fugitive Task Force today.
Johnathan Martin Lewis, 25, was wanted by the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office on multiple sex offenses involving a child that happened over a period of five years. He was arrested in the 200 Block of Chatham Street on Savannah’s southside this morning.
The case was referred to the Jacksonville Office of the United States Marshals Florida Regional Fugitive Task Force to locate and apprehend Lewis in early June 2013. An extensive investigation was conducted by the Marshals Task Force and information was generated that Lewis had fled the Jacksonville area and was possibly in Savannah.
This information was forwarded to the Savannah Office of the Southeast Regional Fugitive Task Force on Tuesday. The Savannah Task Force conducted an intensive investigation and located Lewis at the above referenced address. Lewis was arrested without incident and taken to the Chatham County jail to await extradition proceedings back to Florida.
