Tre'veon Jackson was arrested in Marshall Texas after a federal criminal complaint was filed for carjacking with serious bodily injury. Jackson faces up to 25 years in federal prison.
On September 14, Jackson escaped from custody during a medical transport. Shortly after his escape, Jackson allegedly approached a man outside a hotel in Bossier City, violently assaulted him, and stole his vehicle. It is further alleged that Jackson then led law enforcement officers on a high-speed chase reaching speeds of over 110 miles per hour before crashing the vehicle and fleeing on foot. A multi-agency manhunt ensued, and Jackson remained at large for several days until he was finally located and arrested in Marshall.
“When dangerous offenders like Mr. Jackson escape from custody, it’s an all-hands-on-deck situation that requires federal, state, and local law enforcement working together to eliminate the threat. Our Office is proud to have sprung into action alongside our partners to bring federal charges against Mr. Jackson and coordinate with the United States Marshals Service, the FBI, and state and local partners to bring this offender back into custody,” said United States Attorney Zachary A. Keller. “This Office is grateful to all of our law enforcement partners, particularly the United States Marshals Service, for their exceptional diligence locating and apprehending Mr. Jackson. We look forward to seeing justice done in this case.”
“We don’t want to get into the specifics of the capture, but I will say that the United States Marshals Service has the most talented men and women in law enforcement today,” said United States Marshal Brian H. Barber. “This is what we train for, and this is what we do. When we got the call that there was a fugitive, our investigators and deputies were in pursuit within minutes. There was no way Mr. Jackson was getting away with the United States Marshals Service looking for him.”
Jackson is now in federal custody. The FBI, U.S. Marshals Service, the Bossier City Police Department, Marshall Police Department, Harrison County Sheriff’s Office, the Texas State Technical College Police Department, and the Texas Rangers investigated this case. It is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Allison Foster and Samuel Crichton, with assistance from Legal Assistant Emily Favrot.
