MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Tennessee authorities say a police dog helped in the arrest of a man wanted on a first-degree murder charge out of Arkansas, according to the Associated Press.
The U.S. Marshals Service said in a news release that Kevin D. Curry Jr. was arrested early Saturday at a house in Memphis, Tennessee. Curry tried to escape the house by going out an upstairs window, but was deterred by a K-9 officer.
The U.S. Marshals Gulf Coast Regional Task Force had been searching for Curry, who had been charged in a killing in Crittenden County, Arkansas.
The task force looks for fugitives in a handful of Southern states.
