The Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive Task Force (NOVFTF) has been looking for Hoskins since September 2024.
The spokesperson said Hoskins was wanted by the following agencies on different charges and violations:
- U.S. Marshals Service for federal supervised release violations with an underlying federal weapons violation
- Toledo Police Department for aggravated riot
- Ohio Adult Parole Authority for multiple parole violations with an initial offense of manslaughter
Hoskins is facing an aggravated riot charge due to an incident that occurred at the Franklin Park Mall in Toledo, the spokesperson said.
The federal probation violation and state parole warrants were issued after this charge.
Task force members recently got information that Hoskins may be in the Atlanta area.
U.S. Marshals learned the whereabouts of Hoskins and later arrested him without incident in the 700 block of Morosgo Drive NE, the spokesperson said.
Hoskins remains in custody in Atlanta until he can be extradited back to Ohio to face the charges.
“Here is another example of a violent fugitive who thought he could run from authorities and not have to answer for the crimes he has committed here in Ohio. With the long reach of the USMS and dedicated work by investigators, this fugitive is behind bars,” U.S. Marshal Pete Elliot said.
