Memphis, TN – U.S. Marshal Tyreece Miller announces the arrest
of Broderick Wright for Aggravated Assault and Aggravated Burglary.
It is alleged that on January 21 in Memphis, Tennessee, Wright broke
into his estranged wife’s house and threatened to kill her in front of
her children. The next day, he allegedly broke into her house again and
strangled her. On January 26 warrants for Wright’s arrest were issued.
The case was adopted for fugitive investigation by the U.S.
Marshals Gulf Coast Regional Fugitive Task Force.
Earlier this
evening Investigators with the task force were able to track the
fugitive to a location in Evansville, Indiana. The U.S Marshals Great
Lakes Regional Fugitive Task Force was able to locate Wright and take
him into custody without incident.
“It is my understanding that
the suspect in this case allegedly caused a great deal of terror to his
victim,” said U.S. Marshal Tyreece Miller. “The Marshals Service does
its work for the victims of violent crimes.”
