跟进:Senatobia警察局纵火案嫌疑人被捕:阿拉巴马州男子被控持汽油罐闯入警局纵火

位于密西西比州 Tate 县的 Senatobia 市警察局大楼纵火案有了新进展。美国司法部密西西比州北区联邦检察官办公室宣布,41岁、来自阿拉巴马州 Huntsville 的 Garrick Rawls 已被联邦刑事诉状指控纵火,并已被逮捕。联邦检察官 Scott F. Leary 公布了这一消息,Rawls 是在本周早些时候于阿拉巴马州北区被找到的。
据法庭文件,10月31日,Senatobia 警察局大楼被人放火,Senatobia 消防局将火扑灭,美国烟酒火器局(ATF)特工赶到现场展开调查。监控录像拍到一名男子持疑似汽油罐闯入警局,该男子的体貌与 Rawls 相符,另有视频、电子与实物证据指向他就是纵火者。
11月2日,Rawls 被以纵火罪通过刑事诉状正式起诉。他目前被羁押在阿拉巴马州北区,等候定于11月13日举行的羁押听证。司法部指出,案发时 Rawls 正处于阿拉巴马州一家州法院设定的保释条件之下。
此案调查仍在进行,由 ATF 主导,Huntsville 警局在逮捕行动中发挥了重要作用,案件由联邦助理检察官 Julie Addison 起诉。联邦检察官 Leary 表示,ATF 是司法部最宝贵的伙伴之一,围绕这起严重事件全天候工作。ATF 特别探员主管 Joshua Jackson 表示,调查仍在动态推进,目前相信还有多人知情、或曾协助 Rawls 妨碍司法,呼吁知情公众拨打 1-888-ATF-TIPS 提供线索。
前情是,Senatobia 警察局大楼10月31日凌晨失火,警务服务当时未中断;该警局今年以来一直处于舆论中心,6月一名警员在 Walmart 调查入店行窃报警时开枪致1岁的 Kohen Wiley 死亡,州总检察长办公室调查后认定该警员使用武力有正当理由。联邦检方尚未公布纵火动机。

Follow-Up: Alabama Man Charged With Arson of Senatobia Police Department in Mississippi
There is a new development in the arson attack on the police department building in Senatobia, a city in Tate County, Mississippi. The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Mississippi announced that Garrick Rawls, 41, of Huntsville, Alabama, has been charged by criminal complaint with arson and arrested for his role in firebombing the Senatobia Police Department. U.S. Attorney Scott F. Leary made the announcement; Rawls was located in the Northern District of Alabama earlier this week.
According to court documents, on October 31, 2026, the Senatobia Police Department building was set on fire. The Senatobia Fire Department extinguished the flames, and agents with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) responded to the scene and began an investigation. Security cameras captured an individual breaking into the police department with what appeared to be a gas can. The individual matched the description of Rawls, and additional video, electronic and physical evidence pointed to him being the perpetrator.
On November 2, Rawls was charged by criminal complaint with arson. He is being held in custody in the Northern District of Alabama awaiting a detention hearing set for November 13, 2026. At the time of the offense, Rawls was under conditions of a state court bond in Alabama.
The investigation remains active and is being conducted by the ATF. The Huntsville Police Department played a major role in the arrest of Rawls, and the case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Julie Addison. U.S. Attorney Leary said the ATF is among the office's most valuable partners, working around the clock on this serious incident. ATF Special Agent in Charge Joshua Jackson said the investigation is dynamic and that multiple persons who have knowledge of the arson, or who played a role in obstructing justice to assist Rawls, are believed to be outstanding, and he asked the public and those with direct knowledge of the crime to contact ATF at 1-888-ATF-TIPS.
As GSM reported earlier, the Senatobia Police Department building caught fire in the early hours of October 31 and police services were not interrupted at the time. The department has been at the center of public attention this year: in June, an officer shot and killed 1-year-old Kohen Wiley while responding to a shoplifting call at a Walmart, and the state Attorney General's office later found the officer's use of force justified. Federal prosecutors have not announced a motive for the arson.
A criminal complaint is merely an allegation, and Rawls is presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law. (Source: U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Mississippi)
