Only one week into the
“Top 10 Most Wanted Fugitives” list being released by the City of Savannah and Savannah Police Department (SPD), three of the 10 men have been arrested.
Abu Ali Moultrie was the latest member of the list to be caught, as

Top 10 Most Wanted Fugitives list (as of July 16)
“So I say again to those who are on the list, go ahead and lawyer up, take care of your affairs, come on in and let’s get this addressed. You don’t want us to solve this in the streets, at a time when you may not want it to happen, or at a place where your family and loved ones will be around. You can’t start doing better until you face what you’re charged with.”
Moultrie, 27, was arrested hours after Johnson's comments at City Hall. He was charged with felony aggravated stalking, a felony parole violation, and obstruction,
according to jail records.
