SUFFOLK COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE ARRESTS FUGITIVE FROM JUSTICE FROM PENNSYLVANIA

*** Fugitive Wanted for Felony Identity Theft ***

James Dobbin

(Central Islip, NY) On September 19, 2023, at approximately 1:06 PM, Suffolk County Deputy Sheriffs arrested James Dobbin, 55, of Mastic Beach, NY, as a Fugitive from Justice from the State of Pennsylvania. Dobbin was detained following a traffic stop where a computer check revealed that he had an active warrant out of Pennsylvania for Felony Identity Theft. He was held overnight and appeared in 1st District Court on September 20, 2023. Dobbin will be held until he is extradited to Pennsylvania.

Dobbin was also charged locally with criminal possession of a controlled substance, specifically crack cocaine.

Suffolk County Sheriff Dr. Errol D. Toulon, Jr. commends his deputies for their hard work and dedication to keeping Suffolk County safe. “This man thought he could flee from his crimes in another state and hide from justice in Suffolk County. Thanks to the diligence of my Deputy Sheriffs, he will not only be returned to Pennsylvania to answer for his crimes, but he will answer for new charges here in Suffolk County as well.”
