USMS assists in successful fugitive investigation

On July 2nd, 2024, the U.S. Marshal Service Pacific Northwest Violent Offender Task Force (USMS) provided valuable assistance to USMS-Task Force Officer Deputy J. Lee in a high-priority fugitive investigation. The target of the investigation was Randolph N. Rossback (65), also known as Randy, who was believed to be located in Coos County.

On July 3rd, 2024, the joint efforts of USMS and TFO-Deputy J. Lee culminated in the successful apprehension of Randy at a residence on Hwy 42, Coos Bay. Randy was wanted on a Failure to Appear (FTA) Warrant for multiple serious offenses, including Delivery of Methamphetamine, Unlawful Possession of Methamphetamine, and Felon in Possession of a Firearm. In addition, Randy was cited for providing False Information to Police.

During the arrest, further suspicions of criminal activity arose, prompting the involvement of SCINT. SCINT was granted and executed a search warrant, leading to the discovery of firearms, including a stolen firearm and suspected methamphetamine in Randy's bedroom.

Randy was taken into custody without incident and transported to the Coos County Jail, where he was booked on the outstanding warrant. The successful operation was made possible through the collaborative efforts of federal partners.

Deputy K. Mong, Deputy A. Burgo, Deputy J. Gray, and K9 Sgt. J. Boswell provided crucial assistance to the operation.

As a result of the SCINT investigation, additional charges will be filed against Randy. The coordinated efforts of law enforcement agencies demonstrate their commitment to ensuring the safety and security of our community.
