BREVARD COUNTY • MELBOURNE, FLORIDA – On June 10, Selina Craig our “Fugitive of the Week” was arrested at a residence in Melbourne thanks to tips from our citizens and some great investigative work by our Fugitive Unit.

Craig knew that she was wanted and purposely missed her sentencing court date because she was being sentenced to prison for 51 months.

Craig admitted to our Agents that she had no intention of turning herself in and was just going to wait for Law Enforcement to find her.

Another great job by our Fugitive Unit and our citizens who are always willing to help keep our county a safe place to call home.
