MARTINSBURG, WV (LOOTPRESS) – Members of the U.S. Marshals Mountain State Fugitive Task Force, with help from the Marshals Capital Area Regional Fugitive Task Force (CARFTF), arrested a woman on an outstanding felony warrant issued in Berkeley County.
Rhonda Shannon Cox, 36, was charged with one count of child abuse resulting in injury in Berkeley County in November 2022.
In September 2024, the warrant was referred to the U.S. Marshals Service task force for apprehension.
After receiving the case, investigators from the U.S. Marshals Mountain State Fugitive Task Force developed information indicating that Cox had fled the area and was believed to be living in Maryland.
Earlier today, the Capital Area Regional Fugitive Task Force (CARFTF) received additional information that led officers to the Wood Spring Suites in Camp Springs, Maryland.
Officers located Cox at the hotel and arrested her without incident.
Cox was charged as a fugitive from justice and taken to Prince George’s County Jail, where she awaits extradition back to West Virginia.
“The Sheriff’s office did an outstanding job investigating the abuse of the children and obtaining a warrant for the alleged perpetrator,” said Acting U.S. Marshal Terry Moore.
“Their Deputy on our task force was able to use our extended resources to locate and arrest the subject of the investigation.”
