COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — United States Marshals arrested a woman wanted on threatening and custody violations Thursday, but her 7-year-old son, who was believed to be with her, is still missing.
After an arrest warrant was issued for Shadasia Gillyard just over a month ago, the woman was arrested on Thursday afternoon. Investigators tracked them to the 1400 block of Fountainview Court in east Columbus.
Shadasia faces multiple charges, including aggravated threats, bail revocation for aggravated assault, felonious assault, intimidation of a witness and interference with custody. Court documents accuse her of sending several text messages to a man asking him to drop criminal charges against her or she would kill him.

Her son, Kingston Gillyard, was believed to be with his mother, who is not his legal guardian. When Shadasia was arrested, Kingston was nowhere to be found and she refused to reveal his whereabouts, according to the Columbus Division of Police.
“She has a gun history, she currently has a gun possession charge, and she is also a suspect in a recent shooting and she also has possession or possible custody of a child who is missing in the city of Columbus,” U.S. Marshal said Charles Sanso.
Columbus police are asking anyone with information about the child's whereabouts to contact them at 614-645-4545.
