Authorities in Oklahoma have arrested Carlos Uribe, a 27-year-old man who was on the Attorney General’s 10 Most Wanted list. The U.S. Marshals Metro Fugitive Task Force (MFTF) of the Western District of Oklahoma apprehended Uribe in southeast Oklahoma City.
Uribe was wanted for a kidnapping incident that took place in Cleveland County. He was added to the 10 Most Wanted list last month, and public tips contributed to his capture.
Attorney General Gentner Drummond emphasized the importance of collaboration between law enforcement agencies in this case. “The 10 Most Wanted program has been an effective way for the public to play a part in getting dangerous criminals off the street,” Drummond said. “I appreciate the work of the MFTF and the agents of the Attorney General’s Office in their apprehending this fugitive from justice.”
Supervisory Deputy U.S. Marshal Callen Stephens also commented on the partnership, stating, “The U.S. Marshals Service appreciates the partnership with the AG’s Office in making our community a safer place to live.”
The charges against Uribe stem from an incident on July 14, 2024, when Moore police responded to a domestic disturbance. According to police reports, a female victim said Uribe refused to leave her apartment, pushed her into a bedroom, and physically prevented her from leaving. Officers observed visible injuries on the victim that were determined to be from an earlier altercation with Uribe, who already faced two charges of domestic assault and battery against a pregnant woman.
The Attorney General’s Office launched its 10 Most Wanted list in September 2024 as an initiative to focus attention on violent fugitives and encourage public assistance in locating them. Since its creation, authorities have captured seventeen fugitives accused of serious crimes including murder, rape, and drug trafficking.
