AUBURN, Ala. Two men on the run after a home invasion robbery in Alabama were captured last week by the U.S. Marshals.
Marshals arrested the men who allegedly posed as deputy U.S. Marshals during the robbery law enforcement stated.
The men then fled Alabama but have now both been arrested after separating and fleeing to different states.
Zealand Adams was found in Kent Washington and law enforcement arrested Ramiro Vasquez, 39, in Chico, California. Both were each arrested September 28, 2026, according to a U.S. Marshals press release. They were wanted by the Auburn Police Department in Lee County, Alabama, for investigation on multiple counts of robbery, burglary, unlawful imprisonment and impersonating a peace officer.
During the crime, the suspects allegedly entered the victims’ residence posed as law enforcement, held them at gunpoint, and stole valuables. The crime occurred in the early morning hours of September 3rd, 2026, according to the Auburn (Alabama) Police Department.
Investigators from the Auburn Police Department requested assistance from the Gulf Coast Regional Fugitive Task Force in apprehending Adams and Vasquez, according to the press release. Investigators from the task force determined that Adams and Vasquez had fled to Kent and Chico, respectively, after the home invasion.
Auburn (Alabama) Police utilized automated license plate reader technology to identify the suspects’ rental vehicle and confirm their movement out of the state, according to Auburn Police.
The U.S. Marshals Pacific Northwest Violent Offender Task Force in Washington and the Pacific Southwest Regional Fugitive Task Force in California conducted a coordinated arrest operation. The task forces worked together to conduct a simultaneous arrest operation.
Both Adams and Vasquez were arrested without incident and booked into local jails. They are awaiting extradition to Alabama. As of Sept. 30, Adams remained in the Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent with bail set at $250,000. He was booked at 9:30 a.m. Sept. 28.
In 2014, Adams held a 2-year-old hostage during a five-hour standoff with police in Utah after leading officers on a high-speed chase, according to the press release. During that incident, Adams was wanted in connection with a murder in Louisiana. He was later convicted of kidnapping in Utah and manslaughter in Louisiana.
“Impersonating law enforcement undermines public trust and threatens community safety,” said Acting U.S. Marshal Donrien Stephens for the Western District of Washington.

MOBILE, AL. Local and federal law enforcement have announced the arrest of three University of South Alabama students who threatened death and violence against President Donald Trump.
Federal law enforcement was tracking numerous threats ahead of the president’s rally at the university.
Amare Jemal Woods, Cameron Lamark Lewis and Kayla Leaann Smith were arrested Friday over separate social media posts allegedly directed at Trump before his appearance at USA’s Mitchell Center.
Federal court records indicate the alleged threats were separate and not part of a coordinated plot.
We do not believe that this was any type of joint effort by the students a federal agent stated.
Woods, a freshman aerospace engineering student, allegedly commented “he gotta die bro” beneath a TikTok post about Trump coming to campus, according to an FBI affidavit.
Smith, an elementary education student, allegedly responded to another TikTok about Trump’s visit by writing, “We only got one chance let’s take it,” before posting an image of someone mimicking holding a firearm.
Lewis, a USA student whom 1819 News was told serves as a resident assistant at the University and serves as vice president of USA’s National Pan-Hellenic Council, allegedly made two posts on X.
According to investigators, one said people would remember South Alabama the same way they remember Utah Valley University, where conservative activist Charlie Kirk was assassinated in 2025. Investigators said another Lewis post urged a killing.
All three were taken into federal custody Friday, with detention hearings scheduled for Monday.
Other online threats including one that read “HELP ME RISE UP TO BLOW UP TRUMP.” Are being investigated.
Other violent rhetoric also appeared publicly on social media and in some of them, charges could be filed against them, said an agent.
Several student organizations, including USA’s Young Democratic Socialists of America and Jags Against Fascism, promoted demonstrations opposing Trump’s visit. Protesters gathered Friday afternoon before marching toward the Mitchell Center.

Raleigh police are eyeing a futuristic proposal that could bring more patrol cars to downtown streets — ones that can drive themselves.
The department was approached by a nonprofit earlier this year and pitched on an “autonomous police vehicle,” according to Raleigh Police Chief Rico Boyce.
“It adds a sense of safety,” Boyce told the Raleigh City Council during a retreat in September. “When [people] see a patrol vehicle go by, it deters crime.”
The chief mentioned the cars at the tail-end of a presentation that included updates on the city’s public safety efforts and downtown crime statistics.
Boyce appeared enthusiastic about the program, telling the council that RPD was likely “looking at” limiting the cars to a small, pre-set route downtown.
The cars — pitched by nonprofit Policing Lab — would feed real-time camera footage back to RPD’s crime center, where detectives would monitor the video and dispatch units in the event of a crime or disturbance, Boyce explained.
The potential technology comes as Raleigh police face dwindling staffing numbers, with a goal of adding 69 new officer positions over the next three years to help cut response times.
But the driverless cars wouldn’t replace officers, Boyce said. Instead, they would enhance RPD’s presence across the city.
“It’s just going to augment what we’re already doing here in the city of Raleigh,” Boyce said.
In October 2025, the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office became the first jurisdiction in the country to adopt self-driving vehicles into their fleet through its own partnership with Policing Lab. But the cars remain a rarity for local law enforcement — no other departments have launched self-driving vehicles in the past year.
Boyce pointed to Miami-Dade’s pilot program with Policing Lab as an example of the vehicles’ success.
“Policing Lab came to Raleigh back in February this year, and they looked at our greenways, and they looked at our downtown grid and said Raleigh is perfect for this technology,” Boyce told the council.
The proposed technology drew some amusement from City Council members in September — who likened the technology to that of “Robocop,” the “Transformers” franchise and robotaxi company Waymo. Some questioned whether a driverless police car would really help deter crime.
“I wonder if it would be diminishing return, and people would be like ‘Oh that’s [just] the Waymo police car,’… so they would know it was an unmanned vehicle,” said council member Megan Patton.
In an email to The News & Observer, Lt. David Davis said RPD is “only gathering” information about the proposed technology and will be keeping an eye on the “outcomes” of Miami-Dade’s pilot program.
But the technology could serve as a “force multiplier” for the agency, Davis added, with police “potentially” using it on streets and greenways in the future.
“As an organization, we are always researching and monitoring emerging technologies being implemented by law enforcement agencies across the country,” Davis wrote in an email. “It is also routine for companies to present new technologies and concepts to RPD for consideration.”
FAIRHOPE, Ala. Fairhope police officers kept busy over the weekend with drug and alcohol arrests including several along Beach Road in early morning hours on Friday, May 2nd, 2026.

Mykeria Jaquice Mickles
Jamiya Malia Brantley
Derrionna Armani Jani Jack
Tanavia Breanna Smith-Peters
All four individuals were charged with Possession of Marijuana Second Degree and were later released pending their court date.

Police also checked on a person who was intoxicated in public on Morphy Avenue and charged Matthew K. Richardson with Public Intoxication on October 2nd, 2026, at approximately 7:50 p.m.
Fairhope police were also dispatched to a motor vehicle collision in the 8000 block of U S Highway 98 near the Dollar General store on October 2nd, 2026, at approximately 9:24 p.m.

Police transported Boak to the city jail where he was booked in and later released pending a court date.
The following day, Saturday, October 3rd, 2026, Fairhope also made another arrest for being intoxicated in public.

Foley continues to grow, as does the amenities for its residents and visitors.
Mayor Ralph Hellmich outlined the city’s plans during his annual State of the City address this week and after the opening of the bigger library, the mayor said the city is ready to renovate and build a few other projects.
Some of those projects planned for 2027 will include a new senior center, aquatic center, and World War II naval aviation museum. Mayor Ralph Hellmich outlined the city’s plans during his annual State of the City address this week. He emphasized the importance of improving infrastructure, expanding recreational opportunities, and maintaining public safety as Foley continues to grow.
The city is in the heart of Baldwin County and has been among the state’s fastest-growing cities for several years, and Mayor Ralph Hellmich said officials are doing what they can to manage the growth.
“We didn’t try to do that,” Hellmich said. “So, we’ve been working really hard and our council recognized that growth was coming.”
“When I got elected in 2020, I laid out five to four courses of action, which we’re following and we’ve incorporated that into the strategic plan,” Hellmich added. All of those are equally important. However, I will say that number one is that your city has to be safe.”
With approval of next fiscal year’s budget, totaling approximately $130 million, Hellmich said even more improvements are coming in 2027.
The former library will be renovated to house city offices and the old public works building is being remodeled to house the parks and recreation department.
“At that point, we will tear down the old parks and recreation and that whole five-acre block right there will be the future home of our new civic center and our new Naval Aviation, Barron Field Naval Aviation, a World War II heritage museum that we are working on right now,” Hellmich said.
The city is building two new roads near Baldwin Health and working on sidewalks and pedestrian routes across the city.
Hellmich said the city pays for projects through capital work projects, grant money, savings, and the general fund. He said the city has worked with the local delegation and developers to complete major building projects.
The mayor emphasized the importance of the new BJ’s Wholesale Club in Foley and said since the announcement, other wholesale companies, such as Sam’s Club and Costco have shown interest in the area.
Hellmich said the city is pushing to bring in new retail and restaurants, but planners are trying to be responsible as growth continues.
“I will tell you, for the people who are anti-growth, I’m not for growth, I’m not against growth. I’m for good growth, and that’s what we focused on in Foley,” Hellmich said. “We want to make sure that we’re getting good growth. We’ve changed our standards for home-building subdivisions and our impact fees. Everything is designed to make sure the citizens don’t bear the burden of the growth that’s coming.

The City of Foley has approved new regulations targeting door-to-door solicitation.
The Foley City Council approved an ordinance that creates new requirements for commercial solicitors. These ordinances include permits, background checks, city-issued ID badges, legitimate business requirements and solicitation hour limits.
According to a city news release, under the city’s new ordinances for solicitation, people would have to complete an application through the revenue department, identify their company and go through a background check at their own expense.
The companies that employ or utilize solicitors must have a Foley business license. A solicitor must always display their badge during the approved hours between 9 a.m. and 7 p.m.
There will be penalties for those would do not comply with the new ordinance.
The release said the ordinance also creates a ‘No Solicitation Registry’ for residents or communities that want to opt out of commercial solicitation at all times. Residents can receive ‘No Soliciting’ signs for their property through the city’s online citizenserve portal.
Warnings, citations and permit revocation could be enforced if businesses and their solicitors fail to comply with the ‘No Soliciting’ signs.
In many cities, violations of similar ordinances can result in local police issuing a criminal citation or making a physical arrest which would be a misdemeanor.
According to the news release, Mayor Ralph Hellmich wants to protect residents’ privacy and consideration without restricting solicitors’ free speech.
“Solicitation has always been one of those areas between freedom of speech and the rights of privacy for the citizens,” Hellmich said. “I want to commend our staff. They worked very hard on this to balance the positive and the negative. I really appreciate the efforts.”
The new city ordinances go into effect on Friday, October 30, 2026.

MOBILE, AL. Dogs roaming at large continue to be an issue in our cities and in parts of our rural areas as well.
In recent months, at least four people have been attacked and injured and needing medical care.
Now, another woman is telling her story of how she too was attacked by roaming dogs and had to be hospitalized after the attack.
Billie Dunn, a senior citizen, suffered more than just severe bruises and wounds on her legs. She has seven holes in her legs where the dogs chomped down and held on.
Billie Dunn said she was taking her morning walk on Wenonah Drive on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, when she noticed two dogs charging at her.
It was almost 7 a.m. when the dogs came charging at her out of nowhere and she immediately felt pain. She said that she was screaming for help as she tried to fight them off.
Dunn said she wants pet owners to take responsibility for their animals.
“I want people to be responsible for their dogs,” Dunn said. “I want people to know where their dogs are.”
Local authorities have been notified and there are city ordinances and state statutes that could hold the owner legally responsible for their digs roaming at large.
In many incidents where a person has been injured by dogs roaming at large, the victim has taken their owners to civil court.
Dunn is undergoing physical therapy and said she hopes to return home Friday if all goes well.
