U.S. Attorney Joseph C. Murphy Jr. (in a 2021 file photo) said operations like River Run are important because often fugitives are on the move and it’s important to have all agencies come together to keep communities safe. (Ziggy Mack/Special to The Daily Memhian)
Forty-three have been arrested as part of the initiative, announced in February, that focuses on arresting violent fugitives in counties that border the Mississippi River. It is a collaboration between the U.S. Marshals Office and 24 other federal, state, local and tribal partners.
