U.S. Marshals arrest two

MOSES LAKE – Two wanted fugitives are in custody after a U.S. Marshal’s Fugitive Task Force tracked them down in Grant County on Feb. 20. ?

First to be arrested was Ronald L. Bickle, 51, during a waranted search at 20434 County Road B.5 NE. Bickle was not inside the home but was found on the property hiding under an old couch. He was sought for escape from community custody (probation violation). ?

Arrested later was Kenneth Krebs, Jr., 30, hiding in a motor home at 9841 Maple Drive NE. Krebs was wearing a long wig and a baseball cap to conceal his identity, but officers recognized him and he was taken into custody without incident on an outstanding Department of Corrections Warrant. ?

Bickle and Krebs were lodged in the Grant County Jail. ?

“This is another great example of how our participation in the U.S. Marshal’s Task Force has resulted in wanted felons being captured,” said Grant County Sheriff Tom Jones. “These types of operations will happen often, and we will continue to find and arrest those who try to hide from justice.”

The United Stated Marshal’s Fugitive Task Force worked in cooperation with the Grant County Sheriff’s Office, Moses Lake Police Department and local Task Force Officers.
