Baldasaro was a federal fugitive last known to be residing in the Roxbury area.

U.S.
Marshal Stephen Monier stated that "this was an attack on the
reputation of the U.S. Marshals, and not something that is taken
lightly; the quick and successful arrest of Baldasaro by the U.S.
Marshals is evidence of that!"

Baldasaro is currently being
charged by the New York City Police Department as a Fugitive From
Justice based on the following outstanding warrants, but additional
charges are currently being investigated. Known allegations include
Robbery and Kidnapping (Chesterfield, NH and Cambridge, MA),
Impersonating a Police Officer (Cambridge, MA), Vehicle Theft (Lincoln
County, ME) and a Parole violation in Vermont.

The U.S. Marshals
ask the public's assistance in identifying any additional people that
may have been victimized by someone impersonating a law enforcement
officer. If you were a victim of a similar crime, please contact your
local police department and report the offense.

As for right
now, Baldasaro will go on trial in each of the above states for each
individual charge, and there is still the possibility that he will be
tried on much more serious federal charges of impersonating a U.S.
Marshal.

The ramifications are even more serious because
Baldasaro was convicted of impersonating a Deputy U.S. Marshal in 1993.
No doubt this will be used against him on trial in establishing his
character. Furthermore, this could effect sentencing if he is convicted
again.

Annually, investigations carried out by the U.S.
Marshals result in the apprehension of approximately 36,000 federal
fugitives. More federal fugitives are arrested by Marshals than all
other federal agencies combined. Last year, U.S. Marshals task forces
arrested more than 73,000 state and local fugitives on felony charges.

And as U.S. Marshal Jeffrey White said, "Mr. Baldasaro chose the wrong agency to impersonate."
