Carter had been the target of an intensive, multi-agency investigation since he was identified as a suspect by the East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff’s Office (EBRSO). EBRSO Detectives believe that Carter and several other offenders engaged in an altercation with the victim at the Stevenson’s Quick Pack on East Flonacher Road on September 28th and had not been seen since. Carter contacted the MLFTF through his attorney and arranged the surrender.

“The Task Force and other law enforcement agencies were aggressively searching for Carter day and night. He knew it was only a matter of time before we would have found him.” said U.S. Marshal Carey Jenkins.

The Middle Louisiana Fugitive Task Force, coordinated by the U.S. Marshals Service, is a multi-agency task force that targets persons wanted for violent crimes, narcotic offenses, and sex offenders in the Capitol area and surrounding Parishes. Participating agencies are the Baton Rouge Police Department, East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Office, the Louisiana State Police, the Louisiana State Probation and Parole, and the West Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff’s Office.
