Todd R. Hubbard, the Vancouver fugitive who slipped his GPS ankle monitor and skipped a court date, is back in custody after being arrested Wednesday in Clackamas County, according to authorities. The Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office and the U.S. Marshals Service Pacific Northwest Violent Offender Task Force teamed up for the arrest, though officials have not yet shared exactly where he was taken or how the operation unfolded.
Official Announcement
In a post on Facebook, the Vancouver Police Department confirmed that the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office, with help from the U.S. Marshals’ Pacific Northwest Violent Offender Task Force, located and arrested Hubbard. Before the capture, Vancouver police had urged anyone who spotted him or knew where he might be to call 911, after he failed to appear in court last fall.
Background And Charges
Hubbard was wanted on a felony warrant after he allegedly cut off his GPS ankle monitor and missed a court hearing on Oct. 29, 2025, when he was scheduled to change his plea, according to FOX 12. That earlier reporting noted that he faced a second-degree rape charge (domestic violence), along with additional counts of second-degree malicious mischief and third-degree escape.
Task Force Role And Cross-Jurisdiction Arrests
The Pacific Northwest Violent Offender Task Force is designed for exactly this kind of case, where a fugitive may cross county or state lines. The U.S. Marshals Service describes the task force as a partnership focused on tracking down and arresting violent offenders across jurisdictions, working closely with local agencies to get suspects back into the court system.
What Happens Next
Hubbard’s GPS monitor had been a condition of his pretrial release, and its removal, combined with his failure to appear in court, led to the warrant and the added escape and malicious mischief charges, according to prior coverage from FOX 12. Prosecutors in Clark County will decide whether to pursue extradition from Oregon or add further charges. The Vancouver Police Department’s Facebook post did not spell out those next legal steps, so for now the post-arrest details remain to be seen.
