Out of State Bounty Hunters Arrested in MO


Two bounty hunters from Mississippi are scheduled to be arraigned today in Scott County, Missouri, after being charged with engaging in fugitive recovery without a license. Timothy Fugate (pictured at right) and Jeremy McNeil are both featured on their website, http://www.fugitiveapprehensionteam.com/, advertising their services for fugitive recovery. Both also claim to be law enforcement officers.

According to this report on KFVS-TV, the men hit the wrong house in Sikeston, Mo, in the middle of the night, searching for a fugitive. Weapons were drawn and the two men were later arrested by local authorities after the home owners called 911.

Fugate and McNeil posted $1,000 bonds for unlawful acts under RSMO 374.789, a class D felony.
