Summary
- A man sought since April 2020 for aggravated vehicular homicide has been arrested.
- He was wanted for operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
- US Marshals apprehended the fugitive after receiving a crucial tip.
A man sought in Medina County for an April 2020 aggravated vehicular homicide case has been apprehended by the U.S. Marshals Service. David Sawicki, 56, had been a fugitive since the incident, facing charges of aggravated vehicular homicide and operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Authorities believe Sawicki fled Ohio after the 2020 incident and may have used the alias "Anthony Horvath" while reportedly having ties to Florida and Arizona. The Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive Task Force pursued dozens of tips over several years, including the release of nationwide "Wanted" posters with reward money.
A recent tip directed the task force to the Cleveland Clinic, leading to Sawicki's arrest at a medical facility on Euclid Avenue in Cleveland. Law enforcement officials expressed that this apprehension is a significant step towards justice for the victim's family.
