Gwinnett County's sweep for criminals brought two men, wanted for violent offenses, into custody this past January, officials confirmed yesterday. Eli Cummings, 28, and Jared Thomas Saylors, 29, were the subjects of targeted surveillance operations by the Fugitive and K-9 units, resulting in their arrests for separate egregious charges.

According to the WSBTV report, deputies apprehended Cummings on January 19 at his Buford residence, where he had been under surveillance. He was wanted for sexual battery, aggravated assault, and third-degree cruelty to a child. Saylors was arrested separately on the same day. The Fugitive Unit, aided by their K-9 counterparts and Lawrenceville Police, caught him without incident, ending the chase peacefully.

The Gwinnett County Sheriff's Office did not provide details about the crimes that led to their pursuit of these individuals. However, FOX 5 Atlanta sought clarity and asked for additional information regarding the offenses that caught law enforcement's attention. The request for more details, however, went unanswered, leaving gaps in the story.

The Sheriff's office has remained tight-lipped beyond the initial arrest announcements. Meanwhile, the communities involved likely await a full account of the events leading up to these men's capture. Despite the lack of information, these arrests underscore Gwinnett County law enforcement's ongoing commitment to addressing and curbing violent crime within its jurisdiction.
