A fugitive who fled custody at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport in May seemed unexpectedly content with his re-apprehension, displaying a wide smile as law enforcement officers escorted him back to Kentucky. The Warren County Sheriff’s Office announced updates on Sedrick T. Stevenson, expressing gratitude to other agencies for their assistance, and noting they “coordinated closely” with U.S. Marshals and Seattle-area agencies to ensure Stevenson’s secure return. Photos distributed by the Warren County Sheriff’s Office depict Stevenson grinning broadly while seated on a plane surrounded by multiple law enforcement officers — a stark contrast to the seriousness of his return to custody. “Therefore, we wanted to ensure he was brought back without issue. We underwent coordination with the Port of Seattle Police, Seattle Police, US Marshals, Air Marshals, and TSA,” the sheriff’s office shared. The U.S. Marshals Service told FOX 13 Seattle that Stevenson was arrested in a Seattle neighborhood, along with a second person who investigators said was reportedly assisting Stevenson in his escape. “This arrest sends a clear message: no matter how long it takes or how far someone runs, justice will catch up with them. Our deputies and taskforce officers worked tirelessly and with unwavering dedication to bring Stevenson back into custody. The community can rest easier, knowing a dangerous fugitive is no longer on the streets” U.S. Marshal Donrien Stephens told the outlet. Stevenson was being held in the King County jail until authorities in Kentucky were able to transport him back to their state. At the time of his escape, Stevenson was being extradited to Kentucky to face multiple charges, according to the U.S. Marshal’s Office, including being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm, third-degree assault, and enhanced possession of a controlled substance.
