On July 30, 2025, the USMS Two Rivers Violent Fugitive Task Force (TRVFTF) in  Jackson attempted to serve an arrest warrant on Jamar Hardiman for Failure to  Appear for trial in Madison County Circuit Court, Division II on charges of Possession of a Weapon by a Convicted Felon, Schedule VI Drugs with Intent, and Possession of a Firearm with Intent to Go Armed. The charges stem from an  investigation by the 26th Judicial Drug Task Force. 

When the USMS Task Force attempted to serve the warrant at Hardiman’s  residence on Tanglewood Cove, he barricaded himself in the attic. Marshals held  their position and utilized techniques to make the arrest. The Jackson Police and  Fire Departments provided critical resources to assist the USMS during the  operation. 

Crysta Hardiman, who was also inside the residence at the time, had prior  knowledge that Jamar Hardiman was wanted. During the investigation, she aided  and harbored the fugitive, Jamar Hardiman, and therefore was arrested for  Accessory After the Fact by JPD. 

Jamar and Crysta Hardiman were both transported to the Madison County Jail.
