U.S. Marshals Capture Wanted Tennessee Fugitive
June 22, 2012
The U.S. Marshals Florida Regional Fugitive Task Force captured a Tennessee fugitive Thursday afternoon who is wanted on four counts of aggravated sexual battery.
Shannon Lee Russell of Forest Park Drive is wanted by law enforcement in McMinn County, TN, for allegedly sexually assaulting a young girl over a five year period. The 42-year old Russell was arrested at his home without incident.
The warrant was issued in December of 2011 and the Marshals believe that Russell has been in Pensacola since late summer or early fall of last year. The U.S. Marshals from the Smoky Mountain Fugitive Task Force in Chattanooga, TN, contacted the Task Force in Pensacola late yesterday requesting their assistance. The Florida Regional Fugitive Task Force quickly identified Russell’s whereabouts and began conducting surveillance. Russell is originally from Etowah, TN.
Russell was booked into the Escambia County Jail and although the warrant holds a $150,000 bond, he will be held there as a fugitive from justice until his return to Tennessee.

@ Jules1967— “my2cents” gives my reason for asking. That address and for others near by that may have had new or other victims . Thanks William.
From what I can see from google earth….it’s on the corner of Redwood Circle and Forest Park in West Pensacola, south of West Pensacola Baptist Church. There are little kids bicycles outside the home. I pray that the investigators talk with the children in the home!
Does it matter where this guy lived? He’s been arrested.
>>Do you have an address where this fellow was staying?
“Shannon Lee Russell of Forest Park Drive…” Is what the story above says from the U.S. Marshals press release. According to jail records, it’s “2″ Forest Park Drive.
Do you have an address where this fellow was staying?
