The U.S. Marshals Service announced the arrests in Portland this week of two men facing sex offense charges in other states.
Samuel Linkert, 42, was wanted by police in Minnesota for criminal sexual conduct in the first degree. Authorities there have been looking for Linkert since December 2022, the marshals service said.
Raymond Sylvester, 79, was wanted by police in New Hampshire for failing to register as a sex offender out of Concord. A warrant for his arrest was issued June 1, 2024.
Both men were charged as fugitives from justice and are pending extradition back to their states.

We believe it’s important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It’s a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others.
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
