The FBI has jurisdiction when felons cross state lines to evade prosecution, referred to as Unlawful Flight to Avoid Prosecution or UFAP.

Arrests require careful planning.  And yet the Yiddish proverb: “people plan, God laughs” often fits.

Working civil rights cases against sworn police officers and deputy sheriffs was stressful and challenging especially since in a small FBI field office like Memphis, you may end up working alongside some of those same police officers working a bank robbery, a kidnapping or a fugitive case as Kevin and I both did. 

Although all three of these topics and very serious and potentially very dangerous, my partner and I managed to find the humor in just about everything.  We hope you do too.
