Texas U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force Apprehends Alabama Capital Murder Suspect
Austin, TX – Members of the U.S. Marshals-led Lone Star Fugitive Task Force (LSFTF), working on a collateral lead from the Gulf Coast Regional Fugitive Task Force (GLRFTF) in Alabama, arrested a man sought for capital murder in Montgomery, Alabama.
Bennie Humphrey, 32, of Montgomery, is a suspect wanted on two counts of capital murder issued Oct. 25 by the District Court of Montgomery County.
After the GCRFTF developed information that indicated Humphrey had fled Alabama and was possibly headed toward Hutto, Texas, they requested immediate assistance from the LSFTF-Austin Division to locate and apprehend him.
Members of the LSFTF continued the investigation and arrested Humphrey in the 6500 block of County Road 110 in Hutto without incident.
Humphrey was transported and booked into the Williamson County Jail where he will await further judicial proceedings and extradition.
