Dayton, OH – U.S. Marshal Pete Elliott and Wayne County Sheriff Travis Hutchinson announce the arrest of wanted fugitive Benjamin Dagley, 54. Dagley was wanted by the Gulfport Police Department for assault and the Cuyahoga County Sheriff’s Department for a probation violation.
It is alleged that on August 30, Dagley confronted MSNBC News Reporter Shaquille Brewster while he was doing live coverage of Hurricane Ida in Gulfport, Mississippi. The Gulfport Police Department charged Dagley with two counts of assault, one count of disturbance of the peace and one count of violation of emergency curfew.
This afternoon, members of the US Marshals violent fugitive task force arrested Dagley in a shopping plaza on Greene Boulevard in Dayton, Ohio. Task force members received information that Dagley was still driving in his white truck bearing an Ohio license plate. Task force members located the truck in the parking lot and subsequently arrested him after watching him exit a store in the shopping plaza.
U.S. Marshal Pete Elliott stated, “Due to assistance provided by the Wayne County Sheriff’s Office, our task force members were able to track this fugitive from Mississippi to his arrest location in Dayton. This violent fugitive was attempting to flee from his charges in Gulfport but the swift work of our task force members resulted in a timely arrest.”

I know there has been a lot of terrible news in the last several weeks. And I have to admit to being very down. But this bit of news helped pick me up some.
I’m still pissed though that Dagley was on PROBATION for his attempt to create an environmental disaster back in 2017. For those who do not know, Dagley drilled holes in tanks of hazardous chemicals in order to produce cyanide gas.
CLEVELAND, Ohio -- A Wooster man faces criminal charges after he broke into an electroplating company he once owned and drilled holes in tanks of dangerous chemicals, Cleveland police investigators said.
The incident sent one employee to the hospital for exposure to toxic chemicals, and risked a potential environmental disaster, according to a Cleveland police report.
Benjamin Dagley, 50, is charged with breaking and entering in the Aug. 22 incident at Cleveland Plating on East 134th Street in the South Collinwood neighborhood…
Surveillance footage later revealed Dagley drilled into tanks of sodium cyanide, hydrochloric acid, yellow chromate, ferrous chloride, and sulfuric acid, according to a current owner, Ed Cochran.
"If you mix the (cyanide and hydrochloric acid), you basically have the cyanide gas of World War I," Cochran said. "It certainly would produce a toxic vapor that could kill."
Employees told police that the released chemicals "are severe enough to cause a large scale catastrophe, and Dagley knew what he was doing," the report says.
Cyanide gas binds irreversibly to the hemoglobin protein in your red blood cells. This makes it so that hemoglobin can no longer bind oxygen. And if your red blood cells cannot pick up oxygen from your lungs, you die an unpleasant death.
How Dagley is NOT in prison for this alone, I have no fucking clue. But he got probation. I guess the prosecutor and the courts thought he was a nice white guy that wouldn’t go out and try to hurt or kill anyone else.
