Winter Storm Does Not Stop Memphis Safe Task Force from Making City Safer

Memphis, TN – The Memphis Safe Task Force (MSTF) on Wednesday executed 22 criminal arrests and recovered another illegal firearm.

Of note:

Rodricko Davis, 38, was arrested for assault for striking a woman on the head with a brick in the 100 block of South Walnut Bend. Davis was hostile and combative with arresting MSTF officers but was ultimately taken safely into custody.

Mica’h Finney, 20, was arrested for robbery of a motor vehicle after the Memphis Police Department issued a be-on-the-lookout alert at 5:36 p.m. for a carjacking at knifepoint. MSTF officers located the stolen vehicle and conducted a traffic stop in the 3700 block of Mountain Terrace Boulevard. Finney was the driver.

Darnavius Wayne, 31, was arrested for failure to appear for vandalism by MSTF officers responding to a call for service about a man with a gun who had assaulted a woman in the 1100 block of South Perkins. Wayne was charged with possession of a stolen firearm after arresting officers recovered a stolen .40-caliber pistol.

Since the launch of the Memphis Safe Task Force initiative, officers have made 5,586 arrests and seized 910 illegal firearms, as well as substantial quantities of narcotics, and related contraband. These enforcement actions reflect a sustained commitment to reducing violent crime and removing dangerous weapons from Memphis neighborhoods. 

Launched in September 2025, the Memphis Safe Task Force is a multi-agency initiative to combat violent crime in Memphis. Composed of federal, state, and local law enforcement, as well as the Tennessee National Guard, the task force is focused on arresting violent criminals, clearing warrants, seizing firearms, and locating missing children. Since the operation began, the MSTF has located 148 missing children.

This operation reflects the Memphis Safe Task Force’s commitment to coordinated enforcement efforts and its mission to identify, apprehend, and hold accountable those who pose a threat to public safety.
