June 28, 2012

The U.S. Marshals Florida Regional Fugitive Task Force arrested two wanted fugitives in Escambia County Wednesday.

Willie Earl Thompson

The Task Force arrested Willie Earl Thompson, 56, on outstanding weapons charge warrants. While Task Force officers were at Thompson’s resident, deputies found 11 long guns and two handguns, all of which were possessed illegally, according to the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office. The firearms were seized, and deputies say Thompson will face additional charges.

Thompson was booked into the Escambia County Jail with bond set at $13,000 on charges of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, possession of a short barrel gun and alter an identification number of a firearm.

Christopher T. Dasinger

U.S. Marshals Florida Regional Fugitive Task Force also arrested Christopher T. Dasinger, 29, of Pensacola Wednesday morning. Dasinger was wanted on sex offender violation charges. Dasinger is a registered sex offender and failed to register, register his new address, and report he had vacated an address after moving, all of these are required by law for anyone who is a registered sex offender, authorities said.

Dasinger was later released from the Escambia County Jail on a $30,000 bond.

He was convicted in 2008 on a charge of unlawful sexual activity with certain minors 16-17 years old, according to Florida Department of Law Enforcement records.
