An interagency task force led by the U.S. Marshals Service cleared a record number of felony warrants and nabbed almost 600 fugitives last year. Most of the fugitives were caught in Yellowstone County and the surrounding area.
The Montana Violent Offender Fugitive Task Force cleared 685 warrants in 2009, or 15 percent more than in 2008, which also was a record year. The task force arrested 593 fugitives last year.
