    In a statement, police said that a Norwalk officer of the Special Services Division assigned to the U.S. Marshal Service Violent Fugitive Task Force, out of the Bridgeport office, was contacted by a Deputy U.S. Marshal on June 8 about a warrant out of Long Beach, California.

    The Deputy Marshal was seeking assistance in apprehending 77-year-old Matthew Michael Gass for an extraditable warrant for sexual copulation of a child under 10 years of age and two counts of a lewd act upon a child under age 14.
