Overview

  • Harvey fled FCI Dublin in 1994 while serving time for running an illegal marijuana operation that involved more than 600 plants and firearms.
  • A tip earlier this year led U.S. Marshals directly to his residence in Nevada City, bringing a close to the 31-year pursuit.
  • He had been living with DeeVee Brown, who said she checked with the county sheriff monthly and was unaware of his fugitive status.
  • Harvey still owes roughly four years on his original sentence and faces additional prison time for escaping and evading capture.
  • Deputy U.S. Marshal Cruz Moya, who led the operation, emphasized the agency’s commitment to locating fugitives regardless of how long they remain at large.
