U.S. Marshals Service (USMS), U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and INTERPOL Washington collaboration led to the arrest of a Bahamian man, Angelo McQueen, wanted in Nassau for sexual offenses against a minor, and the rescue of three children at his Pigeon Forge, Tennessee residence. McQueen was also employed at a Pigeon Forge amusement park at the time of his arrest.
“This joint operation underscores the vital importance of international cooperation and swift action to find dangerous fugitives and protect our most vulnerable,” said INTERPOL Washington Acting Director Jeffrey Grimming. “We thank our great USMS and ICE partners for their immediate response and will continue to offer our tools, resources, and global network in the fight for justice.”
McQueen, a native and citizen of the Bahamas, entered the U.S. on March 1, 2024, in Florida, as a B2 non-immigrant visitor. INTERPOL Washington learned that McQueen was suspected of having committed sexual offenses against a minor in his native Bahamas. Authorities also suspected that McQueen had abducted his biological daughter and brought her to the United States.
