JACKSON, Miss. (AP) - A Feb. 18 trial has been scheduled for a Mexican man arrested by a U.S. Marshals Service task force that was searching for a murder suspect in Jackson.
A Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics agent assigned to the force was grazed by a bullet during the Dec. 3 search of a home for a suspect who wasn’t there.
Authorities say it appears the officer was shot by another agent.
Arturo Fomperosa Rodriguez, who was at the house, was charged with illegally possessing a gun. Prosecutors say Rodriguez is in the U.S. on a temporary visa and can’t have a gun.
