AKP Phnom Penh, February 09, 2026 --

The United States has expressed its appreciation to Cambodian authorities for their professionalism and close cooperation in the successful arrest and removal of an American fugitive wanted in the United States on multiple felony charges.

According to the U.S. Embassy in Phnom Penh, Special Agents from the Diplomatic Security Service (DSS), through its Office of Overseas Criminal Investigations (OCI), worked in coordination with Cambodian law enforcement to locate and arrest the suspect in Cambodia. The individual was sought by U.S. authorities for felony possession of a firearm and multiple felony drug offences. 

Following the arrest, the fugitive was returned to the United States in the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service.

“We thank our Cambodian counterparts for their professionalism and collaboration. Together, we are sending a clear message: those who attempt to evade justice will be found and held accountable,” the embassy said.
