Northfield Village -- Village police, with help from the U.S. Marshal's Service, arrested a Garfield Heights man in a Heights Avenue home Feb. 25 after learning he was wanted by the Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas for a probation violation.

Police said they received a tip from the Cuyahoga County Sheriff's Office that the 36-year-old man was staying in a basement apartment of a home owned by relatives. Village police requested assistance from the Marshal's fugitive task force, which includes a village police officer as a member, in the late morning arrest. Police said the man was taken into custody without difficulty and turned over to the sheriff's office.

Police said they also arrested the man's girlfriend, a 36-year-old Cleveland woman also staying at the apartment, and turned her over to Maple Heights police on a misdemeanor theft warrant.

According to court of common pleas records, the man pleaded guilty to a fifth-degree felony charge of using deception to obtain prescription drugs and was sentenced to one-year probation in November. The warrant was issued Feb. 24 after he allegedly failed to report to his probation officer.
