Marshals, sheriff's SWAT team make arrest

U.S. marshals and members of the Henderson County Sheriff’s Office SWAT team arrested an East Flat Rock man on Monday on sex offender charges and other felonies.

David Eugene Staigo had outstanding warrants for Failure to Register- Sex Offender, Failure to Report New Address-Sex Offender, two grand jury indictments for Habitual Felon, along with other warrants for Failure to Appear, the U.S. Marshals Service said in a news release.

Members of the Henderson County Sheriff’s Office contacted the U.S. Marshals Violent Offender Task Force in Asheville after obtaining warrants for Staigo. Staigo has an extensive criminal history in several states surrounding North Carolina. The collaborative investigation eventually led to a travel camper Staigo was living in on Nursery Lane. Officers found Staigo in the travel camper and arrested him. Staigo was transported to the Henderson County Detention Center, where he was jailed without bond.
Annually, investigations carried out by the U.S. Marshals result in the apprehension of approximately 34,000 federal fugitives. More federal fugitives are arrested by U.S. Marshals than all other federal agencies combined.
