BIRMINGHAM — A fugitive from justice was located in Birmingham on November 19, 2021, by the Federal Bureau of Investigations Birmingham Field Office and the Birmingham Police Department.
Flake was convicted of sexual misconduct with a minor on August 30, 2001, from an incident reported to the Richmond Police Department in the fall of 1999. Flake failed to appear for the trial and has been a fugitive from justice since August 2001.
Acting on a new lead received in this case in January of 2021, the Investigative Services Division of the Richmond Police Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigations Indianapolis Field Office worked tirelessly together to bring Flake safely to justice.
Richmond Police Department stated without the new lead and the collaboration with the FBI Indianapolis and Birmingham field offices as well as the Birmingham Police Department, Larry Flake would not have been captured, which gives closure to this twenty-year-old case.
