JUSTICE NETWORK, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT, CAPTURES NORFOLK MOST WANTED FUGITIVE

(Atlanta, GA – October 19, 2015) -- Justice Network, the free over-the-air multicast television network, is proud to confirm the capture of a most wanted fugitive, making this the 40th criminal featured on the network that has been apprehended.  Daniel Perez, a 45-year-old Hispanic male, was wanted for failing to appear on three counts of aggravated assault on a child under 14, and was captured in Norfolk, VA on October 15.  Justice Network viewers in Virginia and Florida saw him in the hourly “Most Wanted Fugitive” spots that air on the network and called in a tip to the Virginia Beach Crime Solvers, leading to the successful capture.

"Thanks to this Justice Network viewer tip, one more fugitive is behind bars,” said John Walsh, on-air host / spokesperson for Justice Network. “As more and more viewers come forward with tips, we can add more victories like this in keeping the streets safer all over the country."   

"Once again, Justice Network is fulfilling its mission," said Justice Network CEO Steve Schiffman.  “Our public service initiatives featured every hour, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year are indeed making a meaningful difference.  Not only are we a network that offers gripping crime and mystery programming, we are a network making a difference in the local communities we serve and making families safer.
