When you get picked up by the U.S. Marshals...

That's a pretty big deal right?  This is no one in my immediate family fortunately.  But it does affect someone in my immediate family in regards to her stepson (my sister).  I googled out of curiosity what this might mean, but just came up with the official website for the U.S. Marshals plus the movie.

  • She just emailed me and said it could be (or always is with the U.S. Marshals?  I don't know much about these things) a federal offense kind of thing.  Poor kid....it's his screw up mother.

  • Yeah- they deal with arresting federal fugitives, among many other things

    Lol......he's 8 years old and innocent.  

    She on the other hand has a history of drug use, so they're wondering if it's something to do with drugs.

    Luckily the boy is at my sister and BIL's this month as part of a scheduled visit already, so until they have to start dealing with court hearings and such, things should be relatively normal for him.

  • Don't the Marshals also deal with witness protection and that sort of thing?  Maybe he witnessed something bad.  :o(
  • From what I know - you don't want the US Marshals knocking on your door for any reason.  Hopefully your sister and BIL will gain custody of him if his mom is this nuts

  • Yes, as a lawyer I can tell you it is big.  I'm a little confused as to what happened, but the Marshalls deal with fugitives, federal offenses, federal courthouse security and witness protection and relocation.  That's nothing an average person wants to deal with.

    My sister and her husband don't even know the details.  They just know the mother was picked up by U.S. Marshals and she's in jail, waiting to be expedited up to Indiana (she lives in SC) for a crime that happened years ago.  My sister and her husband have no idea what crime she committed, so they're in the dark as well.  It just creates a headache for them regarding custody hearings and such.
