Black Mafia Soldier Captured In Mexico!!!

The U.S. Marshals Office has confirmed suspected drug kingpin Craig Petties was captured in Mexico on 01/14/08.

Petties was on the U.S. Marshals 15 Most Wanted List, and for good reason. The U.S. Marshals Office says Petties made a lot of money distributing more than over a thousand kilos of cocaine in cities such as Memphis and Atlanta.

We're told Petties lived a lavish lifestyle. Authorities have already seized two of his houses, worth more than a million dollars, and twenty luxury vehicles that he owned.

An indictment says Petties spent drug money to buy a $111,000 Mercedes and a Bentley worth more than $300,000.
It's been long suspected Petties may be hiding out in Mexico and that is exactly where he was arrested.

"We would love to get this guy off the streets. With his resources he could be anywhere and he is a danger to the community, " said Robert J. Finan II, Assistant Director of the U.S. Marshals Investigative Services Division in 2004.

The Marshals Service hoped Petties luck would run out once they put him on the most wanted list. It may have taken some time, but he's now behind bars.

It's long been believed that Petties may be connected to several violent crimes, such as a 2005 triple murder in South Memphis, and two execution-style killings outside Brownsville.
