PARKLAND, FLA. (WSVN) - The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) arrested a fugitive after they conducted court-ordered law enforcement activity in Parkland.
According to a tweet from @FBIMiami, agents are in the vicinity of the 7200 block of Northwest 68th Drive. The public was urged to avoid the area but the situation has since been resolved.
Video of the scene showed SWAT vehicles, fire rescue crews and Broward Sheriff’s Office deputies as they aided FBI agents in surrounding a home where the suspect was in.
Authorities eventually broke down a fence and window to gain entry into the house and were able to arrest Volodimyr Pigida.
Last December, a jury in Washington found Pigida guilty in a ponzi scheme that defrauded thousands of victims more than $11 million.
A warrant was issued for he arrest after he failed to show up at his sentencing hearing back in August.
