Fugitive Arrest - 1650 N Farwell Ave, Milwaukee, WI

At approximately 12:04 PM, I arrived at the intersection of E Brady Street and N Farwell Avenue. A fugitive arrest was in progress outside of the CVS at 1650 N Farwell Ave, Milwaukee, WI. The Milwaukee Police Department and members of the U.S. Marshall Fugitive Task Force made the arrest.

The CVS remained open for business throughout the arrest and I observed a handful of individuals exit and enter the business.

N Farwell Avenue was blocked temporarily as the suspect was placed into a squad car.
