The Hamilton County Jail just got a little more crowded.
Fifty-nine people were arrested Wednesday during a multi-agency, county-wide warrant roundup coordinated by the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office. The operation saw 131 total warrants served, 89 of which were felonies.
“Some of these are frequent flyers, as you can imagine,” said Hamilton County Sheriff Jim Hammond at a news conference Friday morning. “Some of them we already know – we know their hangouts, their girlfriends.”
The roundup netted several individuals of note, including Tony Acuff, one of Hamilton County’s top 12 most wanted. Acuff was wanted for allegedly robbing and then shooting at a man he had been fighting with on the 400 block of Roberts Street on Monday.
Darrien Metcalf was also arrested and has been charged with the attempted murder of 24-year-old Dequan Jamal Duke in April.
