Atmore Murder Suspect Arrested By U.S. Marshals
March 25, 2014
An Atmore man was arrested Tuesday morning by the U.S. Marshals Regional Task Force in Escambia County, FL, for failure to appear on charges in connection with an April 28, 2013, murder in Atmore.
Kendrell “Dick” McCants of Atmore is charged with the murder of 50-year old Marvin D. Norman of Atmore. A failure to appear warrant was issued for his arrest in late February after he skipped out on a court appearance in Brewton.
McCants is being held without bond in the Escambia County Jail in Pensacola awaiting extradition back to Alabama.
About 6:17 a.m. on Sunday morning, April 28, 2013, Atmore Police responded to a reported unconscious person in the 80 block of Brooks Lane. As officers arrived, they observed a man later identified as Norman on the ground in a yard. Police said he had injuries consistent with an assault.
Norman was transported by Atmore Ambulance to Atmore Community Hospital. He was later airlifted by LifeFlight to Baptist Hospital in Pensacola where he passed away a short time later.

The US Marshall Service had to be called the first time he was arrested. That should have been a clue that he was a flight risk from the start, so the bond should have been set accordingly. I’m with the little girl in Don’s post. They should have kept him when they were photographing him!!
A man and his little girl were in the post office when the girl saw the wanted posters tacked to the wall “what are those dad” she asked? the dad explained they were criminals the law was looking for,the little girl look at him confused and said “why didn’t they just keep them after they took their pictures” ?
So, not for one instance did someone ever consider this one might be a flight risk? Failure to appear, more like never intended to appear…oh but he’s just a murder suspect.
Dang man we just had gave him a ride to the store. Glad they didn’t catch him with us
Now bond him out so he can run a little farther.Thats how it usually works.
Dang man!!
