NEW MADRID COUNTY DEPUTY TAKEN INTO CUSTODY IN CONNECTION TO HOMICIDE SUSPECT

A New Madrid County Sheriff’s Deputy has been taken into custody in connection to a homicide suspect.

Poplar Bluff Police Chief J.R. Keirsey tells KWOC News that while the Police Department was preparing for a narcotics investigation they were contacted by the US Marshals Service Fugitive Task Force team and advised they had information that a St. Louis homicide suspect may be in the area.

By coincidence the target residence for the homicide suspect was next door to the target residence for one of the narcotic investigations.
