Fugitive Worked for Georgia Homeland Security

Prosecutors are baffled as to how a fugitive wanted in New Jersey could have worked for the Georgia Homeland Security Department despite a nationwide alert having been issued for her arrest. Tahaya Buchanan was being sought in 2007 after her indictment on charges of having staged the theft of her Range Rover. Paul Loriquet, a spokesperson for the Essex County Prosecutor’s Office, says that the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services office in Atlanta was apparently unaware of Buchanan’s status.

They continued to be unaware of her status as a fugitive even after she was arrested when police stopped her for a traffic violation and noticed the warrant. A Citizenship and Immigration Services spokeswoman in Washington said Wednesday she couldn’t immediately comment. Buchanan pleaded guilty to one charge of tax fraud, and is serving three months of probation.
