Binghamton Fugitive
Joseph R. Markle

On May 1, 2003, a west side Binghamton, New York woman’s purse was stolen. Later in that same day, the purse was recovered, however $140.00 in cash and her HSBC Bank Debit Card had been taken. When the woman contacted the bank to report that her Debit Card had been stolen, she learned that $1,000.00 had been illegally withdrawn from her account. The theft had occurred at the HSBC Bank at 156 Main Street. The subsequent investigation by the Binghamton Police Department revealed that the person responsible for both the theft of the cash from the purse and the illegal use of the Debit Card was a local man named Joseph R. Markle.

Efforts to locate Markle were unsuccessful, so on June 11, 2003, City Court Judge John T. Hillis issued a Warrant of Arrest for Markle, charging him with Grand Larceny in the Fourth Degree, a Felony. Markle has never been arrested on that Warrant, and remains at large at this time.

A Bench Warrant for Markle had previously been issued on March 18, 2003, by Binghamton City Court, when he failed to keep a court appointed date. Markle had been stopped while driving in the City of Binghamton by the Broome County Sheriff Department and charged with several Vehicle and Traffic law violations, including Aggravated Unlicensed Operation. Markle has never been arrested on that warrant as well.

Joseph R. Markle is described as a white male, 29 years of age, born November 22, 1974, 6’01" tall, 182 pounds, brown hair and brown eyes. He has a birthmark on his left shoulder, a tattoo of a tiger on his left arm and a tattoo of a heart on the left side of his chest.

Markle uses the aliases of: Joseph R. Gardiner, Joseph R. Gardner and Joseph Crampton. His last known address is 1st Floor, 6 Mendelssohn Street, Binghamton. Markle may also be in the Lakeland, Florida area, where he used to reside. Markle has an extensive criminal history, and has served several years in prison in Florida.

Binghamton Crime Stoppers is offering a reward of up to $1000.00 for information which leads to the arrest and indictment of the individual(s) responsible for these crimes.
