U.S. Marshal Tyreece Miller had the following comment: "This collaborative effort by the Marshals Service and our local and federal law enforcement partners shows our commitment and resolve to remove dangerous individuals from the streets. This should serve as a reminder that you can’t commit a crime in Mississippi and think you can run and hide in Memphis."
