FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — A barber who went from appearances on the reality series "90 Day Fiance" to the U.S Marshals’ Most Wanted List on a homicide charge was arrested Friday in Davie.
Michael Baltimore, 44, was booked into Broward County Main Jail on Friday on multiple charges, including trafficking of phenethylamines, possession of a weapon, possession of fentanyl, use of false information, using or displaying a firearm, and giving a false identity to law enforcement, court records show.
He is accused of battering a bar employee, possessing a knife during the altercation, and threatening to get his gun before he fled the scene, NBC 6 reported.
Police found him in Davie with fentanyl, marijuana, ecstasy pills and a loaded gun in his possession, NBC 6 said. He originally gave officers a fake name, but they used his fingerprints to determine his identity.
Baltimore is accused of shooting his former boss, Kendell Jerome Cook, to death, and injuring another man at a barbershop in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, in May of 2021, according to a media release the U.S. Marshals issued last year.
He had worked for Cook until 2019, the release states, and was also featured in several episodes of "90 Day Fiance."
U.S Marshals elevated Baltimore to the 15 Most Wanted Fugitive List in June of last year.
“Michael Baltimore poses a serious threat to the community. By placing him on the 15 Most Wanted list, we have made his capture a top priority of the U.S. Marshals Service,” U.S. Marshals Service Director Ronald Davis said in the release.
The agency had offered up to $25,000 for his arrest. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives had offered up to $10,000, while Cumberland County Crime Stoppers offered $2,000.
