He was initially booked into the Forrest County Jail before being extradited to the West Carroll Parish Correctional Center in Louisiana.

Attorney General Murrill credited West Carroll Parish Sheriff Scott Mathews, the Hattiesburg Police Department, and her office’s Fugitive Apprehension Unit for their work in the case.

No bond had been set as of Wednesday’s announcement. The investigation remains ongoing.

The charges are allegations, and the accused is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
