Wheaton man back in custody on 2011 cocaine charges

A Wheaton man, who was on the run for about three weeks, has been captured in Naperville and is back in custody.

Kutayba Al Sumurrai, 26, was wanted on a no-bond warrant for a 2011 case in which he was charged with six counts of manufacturing or delivery of cocaine near a public housing agency dwelling.

He was sentenced to three years of probation on June 22, 2012, and ordered to enter a halfway house and earn his GED during that time. A warrant was issued on April 9, 2015, after probation officials alerted the court that Al Sumurrai had failed to do either of those things while on probation.

A second warrant was issued on March 16 of this year when he failed to appear to face the reinstated charges.

DuPage County sheriff's officials, who are members of the U.S. Marshals Great Lakes Fugitive Task Force, tracked Al Sumurrai on Wednesday to an apartment complex near Naperville.

He is next due in court on Thursday, April 13.
