BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – This past Friday night members of our Fugitive Unit arrested Ulysses J. Harper Jr. at a hotel in the Palm Bay area.

Harper was last week’s Fugitive of the Week who was wanted for multiple counts of Violation of Community Control for Felony Battery and a host of other charges.

Harper was taken into custody after an anonymous tip to our Fugitive Unit indicated he was hiding in a hotel room.

At the time of his arrest, Harper confessed to knowing that he was wanted and told Agents that he was hiding out as long as he could because he didn’t want to go back to jail.

Maybe you should have thought about that before you decided to become a criminal.

Come on son, at some point you have to grow up. The easy way to avoid going to jail is to avoid getting in trouble.
