Marshall County Fugitive Arrested In Georgia

August 8, 2009
A Marshall County fugitive from a Conspiracy to Commit Murder warrant was arrested by U.S. Marshalls in Gwinnett County, Georgia, on August 6.

Salvador Villa Rodriguez, 29, of Franklin Tennessee, was arrested on a failure to appear on conspiracy to commit murder warrant and was returned to the Marshall County jail where he is being held without bond according to Sheriff Scott Walls.

Rodriguez was originally arrested September 14, 2008 in Louisiana and returned to Marshall County in relation to a murder, where Alberto Trejo was also charged with the crime.

According to Marshall County Sheriff Scott Walls, Rodriguez posted a ten thousand dollar cash bond in December of 2008 and was released into the custody of U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement. Rodriguez was later deported and later re-entered the United States. Rodriguez also failed to appear in Marshall County Circuit Court to answer to the Conspiracy to Commit Murder.

Various Marshall County law enforcement officers developed information that Rodriguez was seen in Marshall County in June of 2009.  Walls said, “Sheriff’s Investigators and members of the FBI Safe Streets Task Force, and U.S. Marshall’s have been looking for him ever since."

The Safe Streets task Force is made of up investigators representing every law enforcement agency in Marshall County, as well as surrounding counties.
