A Jamaican national with a long history of violent crimes and illegal immigration has been arrested in Atlanta.

U.S. Marshals took Marcel Pierre Grant into custody on January 30, ending his latest run from the law. Grant, who has been deported multiple times, has racked up a staggering list of charges over the years, including armed robbery, conspiracy to commit aggravated bank robbery, and illegal firearm possession.

In 2022, he was arrested again for unlawful re-entry into the U.S. and possession of methamphetamine. Despite this, he was released in 2024 under probationary monitoring, which he quickly violated. His failure to comply put him back on the U.S. Marshals’ radar, and they tracked him down without incident.

“Let the message go out to all criminals, both foreign and domestic,” said U.S. Marshal Thomas Brown. “If you do harm to the citizens of the United States, you will not be allowed a moment of peace.” Grant is currently being held and will face justice for his crimes.

The U.S. Marshals Service, known for hunting down fugitives nationwide, worked with the Southeast Regional Fugitive Task Force to make the arrest. “If you illegally come to our communities to wreak havoc, you will be caught, and you will answer for your crimes,” Brown added.
