Benjamin Eugene Dagley, 54, of Wooster, is accused of confronting reporter Shaquille Brewster and assaulting him in Gulfport, Mississippi. The Gulfport Police Department charged Dagley with two counts of assault, one count of disturbance of the peace and one count of violation of emergency curfew, according to a release from the U.S. Marshalls Service of the Northern District of Ohio.

At the time of the assault, Dagley was driving a white Ford F-150 pickup truck, Gulfport police said in a release.

Dagley was booked just after 1 p.m. into the Montgomery County Jail after members of the U.S. Marshals Violent Fugitive Task Force learned that Dagley was still driving his white pickup truck, which they spotted in the parking lot at The Greene. They arrested him after watching him leave a store at the shopping center, the release stated.

“Due to assistance provided by the Wayne County (Mississippi) Sheriff’s Office, our task force members were able to track this fugitive from Mississippi to his arrest location in Dayton,” U.S. Marshal Pete Elliott stated. “This violent fugitive was attempting to flee from his charges in Gulfport but the swift work of our task force members resulted in a timely arrest.”

The ex-wife is probably the person who dropped a dime on him.

When I saw this the other day, for a second I thought that it was Alex Jones waddling towards Mr Brewster!
