A fugitive who was wanted for a crime in Allen County was taken into custody in Las Vegas, Nevada this past Wednesday by the FBI Las Vegas Criminal Apprehension Unit.

According to a release from the Allen County Sheriff’s Office, 34-year-ol Leroy H. Page was wanted for a home invasion that took place in October of 2022 where he allegedly forced entry in a residence on Fraunfelter Road and assaulted the home owners which resulted in serious injuries.

Page then allegedly forced the residents to drive him to another location where he then fled.

This case was presented to the Allen County Grand Jury in January of 2023, and indictments for kidnapping, aggravated burglary, felonious assault, having weapons under disability, and improperly handling firearms were issued.

Page is currently being held in Clark County, Nevada.

He will be transported to Allen County at a later date.
