The U.S. Marshals Office is closely collaborating with the Grove City Division of Police in a coordinated effort to locate and apprehend Quinntel Bagley, a 38-year-old man wanted for a string of serious offenses. Bagley is facing charges of aggravated burglary, aggravated robbery, failure to comply, parole violation for kidnapping, and failure to register as a sex offender.
The incidents involving Bagley have been disturbing and alarming, with reports of him kidnapping a woman on two separate occasions this summer. The first incident occurred on June 13, when Bagley forcibly took a woman from her home, leading to a police response that resulted in his initial arrest. However, Bagley managed to escape police custody shortly after and continued his criminal activities.
On the same day, Bagley further escalated his crimes by breaking into a home, stealing a vehicle at knifepoint, and fleeing the scene. Subsequent sightings placed him in the Hilltop neighborhood, where he reportedly kidnapped another woman from her residence in Grove City and transported her to west Columbus. Fortunately, the woman was able to escape unharmed, but the trauma caused by Bagley's actions remains deeply unsettling.
Authorities have issued a grave warning, urging the public to consider Bagley armed and dangerous. Residents are advised to immediately report any sightings of him by calling 911 or contacting the Grove City Police Department at 614-469-5540. In response to the escalating threat posed by Bagley, the U.S. Marshal's Office and Grove City Mayor Richard Stage have each announced a $5,000 reward for information leading to his arrest.
The community, particularly residents like Karen Schnider, who expressed shock and fear over Bagley's return to the neighborhood, is called upon to remain vigilant and cooperative in aiding law enforcement efforts to bring this fugitive to justice. Bagley's actions have instilled a sense of trepidation and concern in the community, emphasizing the critical importance of collective action in ensuring public safety.
This ongoing search for Quinntel Bagley underscores the unwavering commitment of law enforcement agencies to protect and serve the community, holding perpetrators of violent crimes accountable while providing support and reassurance to residents affected by these unsettling incidents.
