Suspect Ordered Held After Deputy U.S. Marshal Shot in Cleveland Standoff

The federal case carries a possible 20-year sentence.

Overview

  • Larry Wiley appeared in U.S. District Court in Cleveland on Oct. 16 and was detained pending an Oct. 23 hearing.
  • Officials say he shot a deputy marshal in the arm as a task force tried to arrest him at an East 91st Street apartment tied to a Sept. 16 East Cleveland case.
  • A roughly three-hour barricade followed before Cuyahoga County SWAT deployed tear gas and negotiated his arrest, and at least one officer returned fire without hitting him.
  • U.S. Marshal Pete Elliott said the wounded deputy was released from the hospital and is expected to recover.
  • Cleveland police are investigating with assistance from the FBI and ATF, while an Ohio Senate panel held a first hearing on SB 188 to increase penalties for barricading during arrests.
