A Savannah man on the run for 18 months for state and federal drug violations by the Savannah Chatham Metro Counter Narcotics Team and the Drug Enforcement Administration was arrested in Savannah by the United States Marshals Service Savannah Office of the Southeast Regional Fugitive Task Force and members of CNT around 9 p.m. on Friday, said Tommy Long, local U.S. marshals spokesman.
Michael Lavon Bostic, 34, was wanted by the narcotics team on charges of Attempt/Conspiracy to Violate the Georgia Controlled Substances Act in an indictment issued on November 28, 2012 in Savannah, Georgia.
Bostic was also wanted by the DEA for charges of Conspiracy to Possess with Intent to Distribute Five Kilograms or more of Cocaine, 280 Grams or More of Crack Cocaine, and 50 Kilograms or More of Marijuana, Long said.
Both cases were referred to the Savannah Office of the United States Marshals Southeast Regional Fugitive Task Force to locate and apprehend Bostic. An extensive investigation was conducted by the Marshals Task Force and Bostic was arrested at 31st and Montgomery Streets. Bostic had been on the lam for over 18 months.
Bostic was taken to the Chatham County jail to await court proceedings.
