Two fugitives on Attorney General Gentner Drummond's Most Wanted List have been apprehended. Jennifer Gayle Price was arrested following a tip, while Melvin Joe Stevenson was tracked down in Texas by agents from the Attorney General’s Office.
Drummond commended the efforts of his agents and partner law enforcement agencies. "The apprehending of these individuals is a testament to the effectiveness of the 10 Most Wanted List and sends a powerful statement to those who seek to elude justice," he stated. He expressed gratitude for the public's involvement, particularly highlighting the tip that led to Price's arrest.
Price was arrested on October 21 at a Tulsa apartment complex by the U.S. Marshals Service. She faces multiple charges in Tulsa County, including possession of a firearm during a felony, identity theft, and other related offenses.
Stevenson was located after being traced to a Wal-Mart in Wichita Falls, Texas. Whitney police confronted him at a residence where he attempted to flee but was captured near a lake. The Oklahoma Highway Patrol and Hill County District Attorney’s Office were involved in this operation. Stevenson is wanted in Cotton County for methamphetamine trafficking and larceny.
Both fugitives had been evading authorities since spring 2022.
