Officers detected Sherry L. Young, 43, (aka Sherry L. McClain, Sherry
L. Foster, Sherry L. Brownbridge) at the Henry E. Rholsen Airport
before boarding a US Airways flight bound for Akron Canton

Computer systems alerted to
a positive match to a National Crime Information Center docket, which
indicated a warrant for Young for failure to appear for a driving under
the influence charge.
After

officers are always vigilant of dangerous individuals who try to move
freely, trying to elude detection,” stated Marcelino Borges, director of
Field Operations for Puerto Rico and the United States Virgin Islands.
“Technology and close collaboration amongst law enforcement allows us to
detect felons and bring them to justice.”
