Macon, Georgia – A Bibb County aggravated assault suspect was arrested Wednesday after deputies deployed smoke canisters while serving warrants.
According to the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office, deputies assisting the U.S. Marshals Service took the suspect into custody during an attempted arrest at his residence. Authorities said the man, who allegedly had outstanding warrants, ran inside the home as law enforcement approached.
The sheriff’s office reported that a judge had signed a search warrant related to the case. Deputies then deployed several canisters of smoke gas into the residence before the suspect was taken into custody.
Officials said the arrest was completed without further incident. The suspect was transported to the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office Law Enforcement Center for processing.
The sheriff’s office did not immediately release additional details about the underlying aggravated assault allegations, and the investigation remains ongoing. Authorities have not reported any injuries to deputies, marshals, or the suspect.
Law enforcement agencies frequently coordinate with the U.S. Marshals Service when serving warrants involving individuals considered higher risk or actively evading arrest.
The arrest may be of particular interest to local students and young workers who live or commute in nearby neighborhoods, as law enforcement activity in residential areas can temporarily affect access and traffic.
