Summary
435 arrests — including 412 people wanted on outstanding warrants — capped the DOJ’s months-long Operation Show Me Justice in St. Louis, officials said Thursday.
Since August, the U.S. Marshals Service, ATF, DEA and St. Louis police had surged joint enforcement to target gun, drug and other crimes across the city.
80 kilos of drugs, 166 illegal firearms, six machine-gun conversion devices and more than $1 million in cash were also seized during the operation.
Trent McCotter used the announcement to urge mayors, governors and police chiefs to seek similar federal partnerships, pointing to related efforts already launched in Washington, D.C., Memphis and Los Angeles.
