Fugitive captured in Dade County, Fla.

Jerome Totten, 41, from the Highway 309 South area and wanted in connection with the burglaries of dwellings and several churches and for evasion of arrest, was picked up in the Miami/Dade County, Fla., area this week. He has been wanted for questioning by Marshall County sheriff's investigators since April 2012, according to sheriff Kenny Dickerson.

Totten was located after being listed as wanted with the National Crime Information Center and has evaded capture for six months, the sheriff said.

Arrangements are underway to have Totten returned to Marshall County to face charges pending against him.

Former Rust employee faces assault charge

Sylvester Oliver, 62, of the 1600 block of Hernando Road and former chair of the Department of Humanities at Rust College, was arrested Friday and charged with aggravated sexual assault, according to police chief William Hollowell.

The incident, involving a student, is alleged to have occurred in Oliver’s office on the Rust College campus during the evening hours of September 18, he said.

The case has been bound over to the grand jury. Oliver was released this week on $25,000 bond.

David Beckley, president of Rust, said Oliver has been dismissed from his duties at the college.

Hollowell said two additional felony arrests were made last week in connection with a robbery.

Hezekiah Walton, 20, of the 200 block of North Shelby Drive, and Deshun Hasbury, 23, of the 400 block of West College Avenue, were arrested and charged with strong arm robbery, Hollowell said.

Walton was armed with a knife, he said, and Hasbury with a gun.

The robbery is alleged to have occurred at the intersection of West College Avenue and West Boundary in the victim’s car, the chief said.

For a complete list of police calls last week, see page 16.
